When the address is removed from the interface, it doesn't matter if the
socket is still "good" or not. The address is no longer on the interface
so you will not receive packets sent to that address.

I'm looking at the Linux and OpenBSD IPv6 stacks right now and neither
seems to care about existing sockets before expiring an address. Haven't
tried it though.
