ipv6: bump genid when delete/add address
Server Client 2001:1::803/64 <-> 2001:1::805/64 2001:2::804/64 <-> 2001:2::806/64 Server side fib binary tree looks like this: (2001:/64) / / ffff88002103c380 / \ (2) / \ (2001::803/128) ffff880037ac07c0 / \ / \ (3) ffff880037ac0640 (2001::806/128) / \ (1) / \ (2001::804/128) (2001::805/128) Delete 2001::804/64 won't cause prefix route deleted as well as rt in (3) destinate to 2001::806 with source address as 2001::804/64. That's because 2001::803/64 is still alive, which make onlink=1 in ipv6_del_addr, this is where the substantial difference between same prefix configuration and different prefix configuration :) So packet are still transmitted out to 2001::806 with source address as 2001::804/64. So bump genid will clear rt in (3), and up layer protocol will eventually find the right one for themselves.
