nd6: Do not allocate an ifaddr for the interface ID in in6_ifadd()

Without a suitable link-local address, in6_ifadd() obtains the
interface identifier from in6_get_ifid().  It wrote the result into a
freshly allocated struct in6_ifaddr, M_NOWAIT since the function runs
in the network epoch, so SLAAC could fail under memory pressure over a
16 byte scratch buffer.

Write the identifier into the on-stack address the rest of the function
uses instead.  Zero it first, in6_get_ifid() only fills in the low 64
bits, as the M_ZERO allocation did.  Track which path provided the
identifier with a flag instead of a pointer into the ifaddr, so each
path releases its own reference.
