Subject: ipv6: addrconf: increment ifp refcount before ipv6_del_addr()
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit e669b86945478b3d90d2d87e3793a6eed06d332f ]
In the (unlikely) event fixup_permanent_addr() returns a failure,
addrconf_permanent_addr() calls ipv6_del_addr() without the
mandatory call to in6_ifa_hold(), leading to a refcount error,
spotted by syzkaller :
