With commits 35e015e1f577 and a2d3f3e33853, the global 'accept_dad' flag
is also taken into account (default value is 1). If either global or
per-interface flag is non-zero, DAD will be enabled on a given interface.

This is not backward compatible: before those patches, the user could
disable DAD just by setting the per-interface flag to 0. Now, the
user instead needs to set both flags to 0 to actually disable DAD.

Restore the previous behaviour by setting the default for the global
'accept_dad' flag to 0. This way, DAD is still enabled by default,
as per-interface flags are set to 1 on device creation, but setting
them to 0 is enough to disable DAD on a given interface.

- Before 35e015e1f57a7 and a2d3f3e33853:
          global    per-interface    DAD enabled
[default]   1             1              yes
            X             0              no
            X             1              yes

- After 35e015e1f577 and a2d3f3e33853:
          global    per-interface    DAD enabled
[default]   1             1              yes
            0             0              no
            0             1              yes
            1             0              yes

- After this fix:
          global    per-interface    DAD enabled
            1             1              yes
            0             0              no
[default]   0             1              yes
            1             0              yes

v1 -> v2:
  reword the commitlog

Stefano, I've kept both 'Fixes' lines because technically, the behavior has
changed with a2d3f3e33853, not with 35e015e1f577.
