Fix DAD for stf(4)

Modifications to DAD code - r287734 (MFC of r287094) and r290348
(MFC of r288600) - rendered 6to4 connectivity non-working. Address assigned to an stf(4) interface stays "tentative" indefinitely. Attached patch fixes that.

The patch here has been confirmed to fix the problem and work fine by multiple people who were impacted by this issue. 
https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/5748
(that's in reference to a 10-STABLE, now 10.3-PRERELEASE based version)

Is there a reason it hasn't been committed yet?

AFAICT this PR can be closed.

Updating affected hosts to recent 10-STABLE has fixed the issue, and 6to4 connectivity works there again, regardless stf(4) address being in "tentative" state.

There were just couple of commits to sys/netinet6/nd6 after this bug was reported, r299014, r299145 and r303458, so I guess it was fixed by one of those.

Thanks.
