Change Details

Move SIOCAIFADDR_IN6 (current "primary" ioctl to add an IPv6 interface address) handling code to the dedicated in6_addifaddr() function and make it a part of KPI. This allows in-kernel users to add/delete interfaces addresses without relying on ioctl interface.

Move SIOCAIFADDR_IN6 (current "primary" ioctl to add an IPv6 interface address) handling code to the dedicated `in6_addifaddr()` function and make it a part of KPI. This allows in-kernel users to add/delete interfaces addresses without relying on ioctl interface. Note: the code in the function is a full copy-paste, the only difference is "compat" handling for CARP - instead of comparing the CMDs, the ioctl handler now zeroes vhid value so the carp check always fails for compat cmd. The function by itself consumes passed `ia`.
