ipv6: mcast: Don't hold RTNL for MCAST_ socket options.
In ip6_mc_source() and ip6_mc_msfilter(), per-socket mld data is protected by lock_sock() and inet6_dev->mc_lock is also held for some per-interface functions. ip6_mc_find_dev_rtnl() only depends on RTNL. If we want to remove it, we need to check inet6_dev->dead under mc_lock to close the race with addrconf_ifdown(), as mentioned earlier. Let's do that and drop RTNL for the rest of MCAST_ socket options. Note that ip6_mc_msfilter() has unnecessary lock dances and they are integrated into one to avoid the last-minute error and simplify the error handling.
