ipv6: Revert optional address flusing on ifdown.

This reverts the following three commits:

70af921d
799977d9
f1705ec1

The feature was ill conceived, has terrible semantics, and has added
nothing but regressions to the already fragile ipv6 stack.

Fixes: f1705ec1 ("net: ipv6: Make address flushing on ifdown optional")
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
