    [IPV4]: Restore old behaviour of default config values · 71e27da9
    Herbert Xu authored
    Previously inet devices were only constructed when addresses are added
    (or rarely in ipmr).  Therefore the default config values they get are
    the ones at the time of these operations.
    
    Now that we're creating inet devices earlier, this changes the
    behaviour of default config values in an incompatible way (see bug
    #8519).
    
    This patch creates a compromise by setting the default values at the
    same point as before but only for those that have not been explicitly
    set by the user since the inet device's creation.
