3.11.10.15 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Gao feng <gaofeng@cn.fujitsu.com>

commit 33d99113b1102c2d2f8603b9ba72d89d915c13f5 upstream.

commit 25fb6ca4ed9cad72f14f61629b68dc03c0d9713f
"net IPv6 : Fix broken IPv6 routing table after loopback down-up"
allocates addrconf router for ipv6 address when lo device up.
but commit a881ae1f625c599b460cc8f8a7fcb1c438f699ad
"ipv6:don't call addrconf_dst_alloc again when enable lo" breaks
this behavior.

Since the addrconf router is moved to the garbage list when
lo device down, we should release this router and rellocate
a new one for ipv6 address when lo device up.

This patch solves bug 67951 on bugzilla
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67951

change from v1:
use ip6_rt_put to repleace ip6_del_rt, thanks Hannes!
change code style, suggested by Sergei.
