What I did
Add default IPv6 link local route to fix ipv6 ndp issue inside VRF
Why I did it
When a VRF is created, all the assigned IP addresses are removed and a new link local address is regenerated in Linux kernel but SWSS does not add a route for link local fe80::/10.
Linux sends NS packet with link local addresses and peer reply NA packet also uses link local address caused the NA packet be dropped and the ndp cannot be updated.
How I verified it
Built test image with the fix and verified it in a SONiC router. The system can process replied NA packet with link local dst IP address to that VRF.
