Ben Hutchings 4acd4945cd ipv6: addrconf: Avoid calling netdevice notifiers with RCU read-side lock
Cong Wang reports that lockdep detected suspicious RCU usage while
enabling IPV6 forwarding:

addrconf_forward_change() uses RCU iteration over the netdev list,
which is unnecessary since it already holds the RTNL lock.  We also
cannot reasonably require netdevice notifier functions not to sleep.
