[PATCH 2/4] net: ipv6: don't generate link local address on PUREIP device

[Rocco Yue]

PUREIP device such as ccmni does not need kernel to generate
ipv6 link-local address in any addr_gen_mode, generally, it
shall use the IPv6 Interface Identifier, as provided by the
GGSN, to create its IPv6 link-ocal Unicast Address.
