ipv6: Fix idev->addr_list corruption
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!
