Title:
  packet loss during backup L3 HA agent restart

Status in neutron:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When backup L3 agent in HA deployment is restarted, there is 20-30 seconds of data plane connectivity break to FloatingIP.
  It looks that during start of L3 agent, it first enable IPv6 forwarding: https://github.com/openstack/neutron/blob/master/neutron/agent/l3/namespaces.py#L106 and then disable it for non master node: https://github.com/openstack/neutron/blob/master/neutron/agent/l3/ha_router.py#L419
  That cause send of MLDv2 packet:

  08:38:29.815180 Out fa:16:3e:9e:de:0e ethertype IPv6 (0x86dd), length
  112: :: > ff02::16: HBH ICMP6, multicast listener report v2, 2 group
  record(s), length 48

  and that breaks somehow connectivity as packets are sent to backup
  node instead of master one.
