[PATCH net v2 1/2] ipv6: serialize address publication with device teardown

[Daehyeon Ko <4ncienth@gmail.com>]

ipv6_add_addr() checks idev state before allocating an ifaddr, but
publishes the object later. addrconf_ifdown() can mark and detach the
idev between the check and publication.

This happens when a non-loopback device MTU falls below IPV6_MIN_MTU. A
forced interleaving published an address on a dead idev, and later device
deletion waited indefinitely for the leaked references.

Protect the dead indication with idev->lock and keep that lock across
both hash and device-list publication. Recheck both dead and
disable_ipv6 before publishing. If teardown wins, reject the unpublished
object.
