Unable to acquire router solicitation on ppp link after update from 9.0.2 to 9.1.2

Hi,

I have dhcpcd set up to do DHCPv6 PD on a PPP interface. After updating
from 9.0.2 to 9.1.2 dhcpcd was no longer able to acquire a prefix due
to failing router solicitations.

According to tcpdump no router solicitations are sent on the interface,
despite dhcpcd printing "soliciting an IPv6 router" and strace showing
correspondiing sendmsg() calls. I didn't have more time yet to dig
deeper unfortunately.

Reverting to 9.0.2 fixes the issue and packets can be seen in tcpdump
accordingly.

My config:

ipv6only
nohook resolv.conf
noipv6rs
interface ppp0
  ipv6rs
  ia_pd 1 eth0/0/64

Btw, how about enabling the GitHub issue tracker? It's quite decent.

Cheers
Daniel
