net: ipv6/addrconf: avoid integer underflow in ipv6_create_tempaddr
The existing code incorrectly casted a negative value (the result of a
subtraction) to an unsigned value without checking. For example, if
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/*/temp_prefered_lft was set to 1, the preferred
lifetime would jump to 4 billion seconds. On my machine and network the
shortest lifetime that avoided underflow was 3 seconds.
