IPv6 address autoconfiguration relies on an UP interface to processes
traffic normally. A bridge that is UP enters LEARNING state and this
state "eats" any Router Advertising packets sent to the
bridge. Issuing a NETDEV_CHANGE notification on the bridge interface
when it changes state allows autoconfiguration code to retry
querying router information.
