[ Upstream commit 087c1faa594fa07a66933d750c0b2610aa1a2946 ]
igmp6_send() can be called without RTNL or RCU being held.
Extend RCU protection so that we can safely fetch the net pointer
and avoid a potential UAF.
Note that we no longer can use sock_alloc_send_skb() because
ipv6.igmp_sk uses GFP_KERNEL allocations which can sleep.
Instead use alloc_skb() and charge the net->ipv6.igmp_sk
socket under RCU protection.
Fixes: b8ad0cbc58f7 ("[NETNS][IPV6] mcast - handle several network namespace")

[ use IP6_UPD_PO_STATS(net, idev, IPSTATS_MIB_OUT, full_len)
instead of upstream's IP6_INC_STATS(net, idev, IPSTATS_MIB_OUTPKTS).
Older LTS kernels do not have commit b4a11b2033b7 ("net: fix
IPSTATS_MIB_OUTPKGS increment in OutForwDatagrams"), so the legacy
byte-based counter logic must be preserved. ]
