f1705ec197e7 added the option to retain user configured addresses on an

IFA_F_PERMANENT flag rather than adding a user_managed boolean to the

loopback addresses are also retained which is not part of the objective
of f1705ec197e7. Add check so that these addresses are not fixed up,
given that a related fix 70af921db6f8 ensures that they are not kept in
scripts/checkpatch.pl now enforces commit citing certain style: <12-digit
