And, that code was run after the link-local address assignment.
What we did was:

 1. Try to assign link-local address.
    - start DAD
    - wait a while
 2. If DAD ends with no duplicated addresses, 
    try to search neighbor routers.
    - send RS
    - wait a while
 3. If no routers present, add "all-on-link" route.

The patch deletes the last one (3).
and it should not be something to do with the link-local address assignment.
