net: ipv6: Fix refcnt on host routes

Browse Source 
Andrew and Ying Huang's test robot both reported usage count problems that
trace back to the 'keep address on ifdown' patch.

>From Andrew:
We execute CRIU test on linux-next. On the current linux-next kernel
they hangs on creating a network namespace.

The kernel log contains many massages like this:
[ 1036.122108] unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free.
Usage count = 2
[ 1046.165156] unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free.
Usage count = 2
[ 1056.210287] unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free.
Usage count = 2

I tried to revert this patch and the bug disappeared.

Here is a set of commands to reproduce this bug:

[root@linux-next-test linux-next]# uname -a
Linux linux-next-test 4.5.0-rc6-next-20160301+ #3 SMP Wed Mar 2
17:32:18 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[root@linux-next-test ~]# unshare -n
[root@linux-next-test ~]# ip link set up dev lo
[root@linux-next-test ~]# ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
group default qlen 1
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
[root@linux-next-test ~]# logout
[root@linux-next-test ~]# unshare -n

 -----

The problem is a change made to RTM_DELADDR case in __ipv6_ifa_notify that
was added in an early version of the offending patch and is no longer
needed.
