H A Daddrconf.cdiff 8a321cf7becc6c065ae595b837b826a2a81036b9 Fri Dec 09 09:21:38 CST 2022 Xin Long <lucien.xin@gmail.com> net: add IFF_NO_ADDRCONF and use it in bonding to prevent ipv6 addrconf

Currently, in bonding it reused the IFF_SLAVE flag and checked it
in ipv6 addrconf to prevent ipv6 addrconf.

However, it is not a proper flag to use for no ipv6 addrconf, for
bonding it has to move IFF_SLAVE flag setting ahead of dev_open()
in bond_enslave(). Also, IFF_MASTER/SLAVE are historical flags
used in bonding and eql, as Jiri mentioned, the new devices like
Team, Failover do not use this flag.

So as Jiri suggested, this patch adds IFF_NO_ADDRCONF in priv_flags
of the device to indicate no ipv6 addconf, and uses it in bonding
and moves IFF_SLAVE flag setting back to its original place.
