Merge branch 'net-ipv6-addrconf-ensure-that-temporary-addresses-preferred-lifetimes-are-long-enough'

Alex Henrie says:

====================
net: ipv6/addrconf: ensure that temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long enough

v2 corrects and updates the documentation for these features.

Changes from v1:
- Update the typical minimum lifetime stated in the documentation, and
  make it a range to emphasize the variability
- Fix spelling of "determine" in the documentation
- Mention RFC 8981's requirements in the documentation
- Arrange variables in "reverse Christmas tree"
- Update documentation of what happens if temp_prefered_lft is less
  than the minimum required lifetime

Thanks to David, Paolo, and Dan for your feedback.
