You can't take rtnl_lock at that point but must postpone the actions and
do that in addrconf_dad_work.

Probably the whole ... else if (idev->cnf.accept_dad > 1 && ...) needs
to move there.

Thanks for the prompt review, I will look into making these changes.

Also these changes caused a build error due to conditional compilation without CONFIG_SYSCTL, which is resolved by replacing the call to dev_disable_change(idev) by directly calling addrconf_ifdown(idev->dev, 0) instead.

I would appreciate any further comments if the suggested change in behavior is not acceptable.

Thanks
Mike
