[PATCH 2/2] Retry autoconfiguration on interface afterNETDEV_CHANGE notification

[Adam Majer]

A bridged interface will timeout trying to receive Router Advert as
these packets are not forwarded when bridge is UP but not in the
FORWARDING state (eg. LEARNING state). Bridge code issues
NETDEV_CHANGE when bridge's internal state is changed. It is then
possible to retry Router Solicitation.
