    ipv6: mcast: remove one synchronize_net() barrier in ipv6_mc_down()
    
    [ Upstream commit 17ef8efc00b34918b966388b2af0993811895a8c ]
    
    As discussed in the past (commit 2d3916f31891 ("ipv6: fix skb drops
    in igmp6_event_query() and igmp6_event_report()")) I think the
    synchronize_net() call in ipv6_mc_down() is not needed.
    
    Under load, synchronize_net() can last between 200 usec and 5 ms.
    
    KASAN seems to agree as well.
