I missed that inet6_dump_addr() is calling in6_dump_addrs()
from two points.
First one under RTNL protection, and second one under rcu_read_lock().
Since we want to remove RTNL use from inet6_dump_addr() very soon,
no longer assume in6_dump_addrs() is protected by RTNL (even
if this is still the case).
Use rcu_read_lock() earlier to fix this lockdep splat:
