Subject: [PATCH] ndisc: don't artificially extend the lifetime of DNSSL/RDNSS
options
RFCs actually expect to honor the lifetime. See for example [1].
This is just not right, and totally arbitrary. It was added
when our libndp based implementation was added, but unclear
why this was done (beyond the code comment).
