Currently, ipv6_find_idev returns NULL when ipv6_add_dev fails,
ignoring the specific error value. This results in addrconf_add_dev
returning ENOBUFS in all cases, which is unfortunate in cases such as:
# ip link add dummyX type dummy
# ip link set dummyX mtu 1200 up
# ip addr add 2000::/64 dev dummyX

a317a2f19da7 ("ipv6: fail early when creating netdev named all
or default") introduced error returns in ipv6_add_dev. Before that,
that function would simply return NULL for all failures.
