[IPV6]: Restore IPv6 when MTU is big enough
[ Upstream commit: d31c7b8fa303eb81311f27b80595b8d2cbeef950 ]
Avaid provided test application, so bug got fixed.
IPv6 addrconf removes ipv6 inner device from netdev each time cmu
changes and new value is less than IPV6_MIN_MTU (1280 bytes).
When mtu is changed and new value is greater than IPV6_MIN_MTU,
it does not add ipv6 addresses and inner device bac.
This patch fixes that.
Tested with Avaid's application, which works ok now.
