[PATCH net v4 1/4] ipv6: remove ifaddr from hash during ifdown list cleanup

addrconf_ifdown() clears the address hash before snapshotting the
per-device address list. A concurrent ipv6_add_addr() can publish an
address after the hash scan and before the list snapshot.

The ifdown path then removes the address from the device list and drops
the list-owned reference while it is still linked in the hash. Once the
remaining references are released, inet6_ifa_finish_destroy() warns, but
a DEAD address continues to kfree_rcu(). The hash therefore points to
freed memory that later RCU walkers can dereference.

This follow-on was found by source review and was not separately
triggered at runtime.

Remove each non-kept address from the hash immediately before removing
it from the per-device list. Keeping it hashed through the delete
notification blocks same-address publication until NETDEV_DOWN has been
delivered. hlist_del_init_rcu() is safe when the earlier hash scan
already removed the address.

This handles a late publisher captured by the list snapshot. The next
change serializes publication with teardown so an add cannot miss both
observations. Both changes are required when backporting the complete fix.
