Pass the duration of a lifetime (in seconds) to the function rt6_add_dflt_router() so that it can properly set the expiration time. The function ndisc_router_discovery() is the only one that calls rt6_add_dflt_router(), and it will later set the expiration time for the route created by rt6_add_dflt_router(). However, there is a gap of time between calling rt6_add_dflt_router() and setting the expiration time in ndisc_router_discovery(). During this period, there is a possibility that a new route may be removed from the routing table. By setting the correct expiration time in rt6_add_dflt_router(), we can prevent this from happening. The reason for setting RTF_EXPIRES in rt6_add_dflt_router() is to start the Garbage Collection (GC) timer, as it only activates when a route with RTF_EXPIRES is added to a table.
