ipv6: addrconf: Fix recursive spin lock call

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
