pasta: Disable neighbour solicitations on device up to prevent DAD

As soon as we the kernel notifier for IPv6 address configuration
(addrconf_notify()) sees that we bring the target interface up
(NETDEV_UP), it will schedule duplicate address detection, so, by
itself, setting the nodad flag later is useless, because that won't
stop a detection that's already in progress.

However, if we disable neighbour solicitations with IFF_NOARP (which
is a misnomer for IPv6 interfaces, but there's no possibility of
mixing things up), the notifier will not trigger DAD, because it can't
be done, of course, without neighbour solicitations.

Set IFF_NOARP as we bring up the device, and drop it after we had a
chance to set the nodad attribute on the link.
