3.2.94-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Lubomir Rintel <lkund...@v3.sk>
commit 3d171f3907329d4b1ce31d5ec9c852c5f0269578 upstream.
The userspace needs to know why is the address being removed so that it can
perhaps obtain a new address.
Without the DADFAILED flag it's impossible to distinguish removal of a
temporary and tentative address due to DAD failure from other reasons (device
removed, manual address removal).
