ipv6 sends a RTM_DELLINK netlink message on both events: NETDEV_DOWN,
NETDEV_UNREGISTER. Corrected by sending RTM_NEWLINK on NETDEV_DOWN event
and RTM_DELLINK on NETDEV_UNREGISTER event.

btw. I don't know why protocol sends a NL messages about iface state
changes. It comes from other sources. By contrast ipv6 doesn't send
no message on NETDEV_UP event !? IMO best possibility is deletion of
sending this message.
