interface-ip: add unreachable route if address is offlink
In order to avoid a routing loop add an unreachable route for the address prefix is the offlink flag is set for an address. This fixes a routing loop which is currently present on point-to-point links (e.g PPP) when the wan interface is assigned a globally unique prefix (e.g. 2001:db8:1:0::/64) from which an IPv6 address is picked and installed on the wan interface (e.g. 2001:db8:1:0:5054:ff:feab:d87c/64) The prefix route 2001:db8:1::/64 would be present in the routing table which will route any packet with as destination 2001:db8:1::/64 to the wan interface and would be routed back by the upstream router due to the wan interface due to the assigned global unique prefix. Besides not installing the prefix route 2001:db8:1::/64 on point-to-point links adding an unreachable route is required to avoid the routing loop. Signed-off-by: Hans Dedecker <dedeckeh@gmail.com>
