Subject: [PATCH] ipv6:Fix concurrent access issue in the function inet6_rtm_deladdr

From: Nicholas Krause <xerofoify@...il.com>

This fixes the issue with conncurrent access when calling the function
inte6_addr_del due to this function using non locked wrapper versions
of certain functions by locking the routing mutex before and after this
call with rtnl_lock/unlock. After the unlocking just return the error
code as normal to signal success or failure to the caller of the function
inet_6_rtm_addr.
