stephen hemminger 8f37ada5b5 IPv6: fix race between cleanup and add/delete address ...

This solves a potential race problem during the cleanup process.
The issue is that addrconf_ifdown() needs to traverse address list,
but then drop lock to call the notifier. The version in -next
could get confused if add/delete happened during this window.
Original code (2.6.32 and earlier) was okay because all addresses
were always deleted.
