Subject[patch 05/26] Fix some cases of missed IPV6 DAD
2.6.22-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.

------------------
From: Mitsuru Chinen <mitch@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

changeset 0fcace22d38ce9216f5ba52f929a99d284aa7e49 from mainline

To judge the timing for DAD, netif_carrier_ok() is used. However,
there is a possibility that dev->qdisc stays noop_qdisc even if
netif_carrier_ok() returns true. In that case, DAD NS is not sent out.
We need to defer the IPv6 device initialization until a valid qdisc
is specified.
