ipv6: mcast: Check inet6_dev->dead under idev->mc_lock in __ipv6_dev_mc_inc().

Browse Source 
Since commit 63ed8de4be ("mld: add mc_lock for protecting
per-interface mld data"), every multicast resource is protected
by inet6_dev->mc_lock.

RTNL is unnecessary in terms of protection but still needed for
synchronisation between addrconf_ifdown() and __ipv6_dev_mc_inc().

Once we removed RTNL, there would be a race below, where we could
add a multicast address to a dead inet6_dev.

  CPU1                            CPU2
  ====                            ====
  addrconf_ifdown()               __ipv6_dev_mc_inc()
                                    if (idev->dead) <-- false
    dead = true                       return -ENODEV;
    ipv6_mc_destroy_dev() / ipv6_mc_down()
      mutex_lock(&idev->mc_lock)
      ...
      mutex_unlock(&idev->mc_lock)
                                    mutex_lock(&idev->mc_lock)
                                    ...
                                    mutex_unlock(&idev->mc_lock)

The race window can be easily closed by checking inet6_dev->dead
under inet6_dev->mc_lock in __ipv6_dev_mc_inc() as addrconf_ifdown()
will acquire it after marking inet6_dev dead.

Let's check inet6_dev->dead under mc_lock in __ipv6_dev_mc_inc().

Note that now __ipv6_dev_mc_inc() no longer depends on RTNL and
we can remove ASSERT_RTNL() there and the RTNL comment above
addrconf_join_solict().
