RFC 6775 describes in the section of processing RS to set the AR type of an address on TENTATIVE. Problem: since we don't implement multi-hop DAD at the moment the address stays this type and is removed after the timeout. I suspect this to be part of the problem in #5790.

If it does not fix this issue not, this is still a bug, since setting a state timeout for a NCE that is not properly resolved is faulty behavior. This behavior is labeled as MAY in the RFC, so removing it should be fine.

I'm not sure it is totally part of the other problem. At least this will avoid an address to be removed from ncache. Since there is not a lot of way to test this, I would ack and merge as soon as CI is done.
