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.
