Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: Fix idev->addr_list corruption

From: Rabin Vincent <rabinv@...s.com>

addrconf_ifdown() removes elements from the idev->addr_list without
holding the idev->lock.

If this happens while the loop in __ipv6_dev_get_saddr() is handling the
same element, that function ends up in an infinite loop:

  NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 23s! [test:1719]
  Call Trace:
   ipv6_get_saddr_eval+0x13c/0x3a0
   __ipv6_dev_get_saddr+0xe4/0x1f0

Fixes: 6a923934c33 (Revert "ipv6: Revert optional address flusing on ifdown.")
