4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 16186a82de1fdd868255448274e64ae2616e2640 ]
A rcu stall with the following backtrace was seen on a system with
forwarding, optimistic_dad and use_optimistic set. To reproduce,
set these flags and allow ipv6 autoconf.
This occurs because the device write_lock is acquired while already
holding the read_lock. Back trace below -

v2: do addrconf_dad_kick inside read lock and then acquire write
lock for ipv6_ifa_notify as suggested by Eric
