rGe58c8da0683d: Map IPv6 link-local prefix to the link-local ifa.

Summary

Currently we create link-local route by creating an always-on IPv6 prefix in the prefix list. This prefix is not tied to the link-local ifa.

This leads to the following problems:

When flushing interface addresses we skip on-link route, leaving fe80::/64 prefix on the interface w/o any IPv6 addresses.
When creating and removing link-local alias we lose fe80::/64 prefix

Fix this by attaching ifa to the prefix at the initial creation.

Test Plan

Before:

0:29 [0] devel1# ifconfig vlan5 inet6
vlan5: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=680703<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,TSO4,TSO6,LRO,LINKSTATE,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6>
        inet6 2a02:6b8::1 prefixlen 63
        inet6 fe80::5054:ff:fe52:3e90%vlan5 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0xd
        nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
0:29 [0] devel1# netstat -6rn | grep vlan5
