YOSHIFUJI Hideaki b2db756449 ipv6: Reduce timer events for addrconf_verify().
This patch reduces timer events while keeping accuracy by rounding
our timer and/or batching several address validations in addrconf_verify().

addrconf_verify() is called at earliest timeout among interface addresses'
timeouts, but at maximum ADDR_CHECK_FREQUENCY (120 secs).

In most cases, all of timeouts of interface addresses are long enough
(e.g. several hours or days vs 2 minutes), this timer is usually called
every ADDR_CHECK_FREQUENCY, and it is okay to be lazy.
(Note this timer could be eliminated if all code paths which modifies
variables related to timeouts call us manually, but it is another story.)

However, in other least but important cases, we try keeping accuracy.

When the real interface address timeout is coming, and the timeout
is just before the rounded timeout, we accept some error.

When a timeout has been reached, we also try batching other several
events in very near future.
