Subject: [PATCH net-next v11 05/11] ipv6: do not call ndisc_send_rs() with write lock

From: Cong Wang <amwang@...hat.com>

Because vxlan module will call ip6_dst_lookup() in TX path,
which will hold write lock. So we have to release this write lock
before calling ndisc_send_rs(), otherwise could deadlock.
