ipv6: add complete rcu protection around np->opt

[ Upstream commit 45f6fad84cc305103b28d73482b344d7f5b76f39 ]

This patch addresses multiple problems :

UDP/RAW sendmsg() need to get a stable struct ipv6_txoptions
while socket is not locked : Other threads can change np->opt
concurrently. Dmitry posted a syzkaller
(http://github.com/google/syzkaller

) program desmonstrating
use-after-free.

Starting with TCP/DCCP lockless listeners, tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock()
and dccp_v6_request_recv_sock() also need to use RCU protection
to dereference np->opt once (before calling ipv6_dup_options())

This patch adds full RCU protection to np->opt
