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! [test:1719]
  Call Trace:
