Subject: CVE-2022-49662: ipv6: fix lockdep splat in in6_dump_addrs()

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipv6: fix lockdep splat in in6_dump_addrs()

As reported by syzbot, we should not use rcu_dereference()
when rcu_read_lock() is not held.

WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
5.19.0-rc2-syzkaller #0 Not tainted

net/ipv6/addrconf.c:5175 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

other info that might help us debug this:

rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
1 lock held by syz-executor326/3617:
 #0: ffffffff8d5848e8 (rtnl_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: netlink_dump+0xae/0xc20 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:2223

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
