The get_in6() API defined in netdev-provider.h requires the return
of error values when the 'netdev' has no assigned IPv6 address or
the 'netdev' does not support IPv6.  However, the netdev_linux_get_in6()
implementation does not follow this (always return 0).  And this
causes the a bug in deleting vlan interfaces created for vlan
splinter.

This commit makes netdev_linux_get_in6() conform to the API definition
and returns the specified error value when failing to get IPv6 address.
