When an IPv6 Router Advertisement (RA) is received for a prefix, the
kernel creates the corresponding on-link route with flags RTF_ADDRCONF
and RTF_PREFIX_RT configured and RTF_EXPIRES if lifetime is set.
If later a user configures a static IPv6 address on the same prefix the
kernel clears the RTF_EXPIRES flag but it doesn't clear the RTF_ADDRCONF
and RTF_PREFIX_RT. When the next RA for that prefix is received, the
kernel sees the route as RA-learned and wrongly configures back the
lifetime. This is problematic because if the route expires, the static
address won't have the corresponding on-link route.
This fix clears the RTF_ADDRCONF and RTF_PREFIX_RT flags preventing that
the lifetime is configured when the next RA arrives. If the static
address is deleted, the route becomes RA-learned again.
