Title:
  IPv6 temporary addresses accumulate over time

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On my office desktop machine I observe that it accumulates temporary
  IPv6 addresses over time, even though all except one are marked as
  deprecated already.

  E.g. right now my IP list looks like this:
  2: eno1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000
      inet6 2620:101:80fc:224:ad8a:b15b:f83e:99e9/64 scope global temporary dynamic 
         valid_lft 594471sec preferred_lft 75471sec
      inet6 2620:101:80fc:224:7484:af8e:1051:52b9/64 scope global temporary deprecated dynamic 
         valid_lft 508673sec preferred_lft 0sec
      inet6 2620:101:80fc:224:3855:ba9f:c4ab:5784/64 scope global temporary deprecated dynamic 
         valid_lft 422875sec preferred_lft 0sec
      inet6 2620:101:80fc:224:ac16:b27:9fa4:4f5d/64 scope global temporary deprecated dynamic 
         valid_lft 337078sec preferred_lft 0sec
      inet6 2620:101:80fc:224:f0c6:8f9f:74b8:99ca/64 scope global temporary deprecated dynamic 
         valid_lft 251280sec preferred_lft 0sec
      inet6 2620:101:80fc:224:e070:5f9b:9783:bd0d/64 scope global temporary deprecated dynamic 
         valid_lft 165483sec preferred_lft 0sec
      inet6 2620:101:80fc:224:f46a:182b:e2c8:d026/64 scope global temporary deprecated dynamic 
         valid_lft 79685sec preferred_lft 0sec
      inet6 2620:101:80fc:224:baca:3aff:fea3:1b50/64 scope global mngtmpaddr noprefixroute dynamic 
         valid_lft 2591996sec preferred_lft 604796sec
      inet6 fe80::baca:3aff:fea3:1b50/64 scope link 
         valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

  Once I reboot the interface has only the one IP addressed based on MAC
  address plus one temporary address.

  I verified manually via 'netstat -anp' that no active network
  connections or listening sockets remain on the interfaces which are
  marked as deprecated.

  I think the deprecated addresses should be removed once no socket is
  any longer using the address.
