3.16.47-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: David Ahern <d...@cumulusnetworks.com> commit 4a6e3c5def13c91adf2acc613837001f09af3baa upstream. ndisc_notify is the ipv6 equivalent to arp_notify. When arp_notify is set to 1, gratuitous arp requests are sent when the device is brought up. The same is expected when ndisc_notify is set to 1 (per ndisc_notify in Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt). The NA is not sent on NETDEV_UP event; add it.
