Generate netlink notification when default IPv6 route preference changes
Generate RTM_NEWROUTE netlink notification when the route preference
changes on an existing kernel generated default route in response to
RA messages. Currently netlink notifications are generated only when
this route is added or deleted but not when the route preference
changes, which can cause userspace routing application state to go
out of sync with kernel.
