IPv6: fix off-by-one in pltime and vltime expiration checks
Previously, the macros used '>' instead of '>=' when comparing elapsed
time against the preferred and valid lifetimes. This caused any deprecated
address to become usable again for one extra second after receiving each
Router Advertisement. In that short window, the address could be
selected as a source for outgoing connections.
Update the checks to use '>=' so that addresses are deprecated or
invalid when their lifetime expires.
