Details:

It turns out (that on my system at least) that SLAAC addresses take a long
time to be assigned. This is because the SLAAC addresses only get assigned on
receipt of a RA. The lwip stack tries to send RS messages to solicit the RA,
but none of them are actually transmitted due to network bringup timings.

This patch only decrements the RS retransmission count *if* the RS is actually
sent.
