net: change accept_ra_min_rtr_lft to affect all RA lifetimes
accept_ra_min_rtr_lft only considered the lifetime of the default route and discarded entire RAs accordingly. This change renames accept_ra_min_rtr_lft to accept_ra_min_lft, and applies the value to individual RA sections; in particular, router lifetime, PIO preferred lifetime, and RIO lifetime. If any of those lifetimes are lower than the configured value, the specific RA section is ignored. In order for the sysctl to be useful to Android, it should really apply to all lifetimes in the RA, since that is what determines the minimum frequency at which RAs must be processed by the kernel. Android uses hardware offloads to drop RAs for a fraction of the minimum of all lifetimes present in the RA (some networks have very frequent RAs (5s) with high lifetimes (2h)). Despite this, we have encountered networks that set the router lifetime to 30s which results in very frequent CPU wakeups. Instead of disabling IPv6 (and dropping IPv6 ethertype in the WiFi firmware) entirely on such networks, it seems better to ignore the misconfigured routers while still processing RAs from other IPv6 routers on the same network (i.e. to support IoT applications). The previous implementation dropped the entire RA based on router lifetime. This turned out to be hard to expand to the other lifetimes present in the RA in a consistent manner; dropping the entire RA based on RIO/PIO lifetimes would essentially require parsing the whole thing twice.
