Disable router anycast address for /127 prefixes
RFC 6164 requires that routers MUST disable Subnet-Router anycast for the prefix when /127 prefixes are used. No need for matching code in addrconf_leave_anycast() as it will silently ignore any attempt to leave an unknown anycast address. Signed-off-by: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@mork.no> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
