net: ipv6: only invalidate previously tokenized addresses
Instead of invalidating all IPv6 addresses with global scope when one decides to use IPv6 tokens, we should only invalidate previous tokens and leave the rest intact until they expire eventually (or are intact forever). For doing this less greedy approach, we're adding a bool at the end of inet6_ifaddr structure instead, for two reasons: i) per-inet6_ifaddr flag space is already used up, making it wider might not be a good idea, since ii) also we do not necessarily need to export this information into user space.
