When one uses SIOCAIFADDR_IN6 to add a v6 address, it's possible to set the preferred and valid lifetimes of the address. If the address already exists, this ioctl will recalculate and update the expiry times based on the provided timestamps. When adding a new address, the lifetimes are inherited by the prefix as well, but only if we create a new prefix. If the prefix already exists, as it will in the case where an address is being updated rather than being added, we do not touch the prefix lifetimes at all. This means that the original address lifetime still applies to the route associated with that prefix, so when the prefix expires, the route goes away. This behaviour doesn't make a lot of sense: if the admin updates an address lifetime, we should ensure that the prefix lifetime is updated too. Make that change, ensuring that we do not shorten the prefix lifetime, as the prefix might be shared among multiple interface addresses. Add a regression test.

FreeBSD Kernel Source:
This directory contains the source files and build glue that make up the FreeBSD kernel and its modules, including both original and contributed software.
Kernel configuration files are located in the conf/ subdirectory of each
architecture. GENERIC is the configuration used in release builds. NOTES
contains documentation of all possible entries. LINT is a compile-only
configuration used to maximize build coverage and detect regressions.
Documentation:
Source code documentation is maintained in a set of man pages, under section 9.
These pages are located in share/man/man9, from the
top-level of the src tree. Consult intro(9)
for an overview of existing pages.
Some additional high-level documentation of the kernel is maintained in the Architecture Handbook.
