[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 06/38] ipv6: fix locking issues with loops over idev->addr_list

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Niels Dossche <dossche.niels@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 51454ea42c1ab4e0c2828bb0d4d53957976980de ]

idev->addr_list needs to be protected by idev->lock. However, it is not
always possible to do so while iterating and performing actions on
inet6_ifaddr instances. For example, multiple functions (like
addrconf_{join,leave}_anycast) eventually call down to other functions
that acquire the idev->lock. The current code temporarily unlocked the
idev->lock during the loops, which can cause race conditions. Moving the
locks up is also not an appropriate solution as the ordering of lock
acquisition will be inconsistent with for example mc_lock.

This solution adds an additional field to inet6_ifaddr that is used
to temporarily add the instances to a temporary list while holding
idev->lock. The temporary list can then be traversed without holding
idev->lock. This change was done in two places. In addrconf_ifdown, the
list_for_each_entry_safe variant of the list loop is also no longer
necessary as there is no deletion within that specific loop.
