[IPV6]: ipv6_add_addr should install dstentry earlier
ipv6_add_addr allocates a struct inet6_ifaddr and a dstentry, but it
doesn't install the dstentry in ifa->rt until after it releases the
addrconf_hash_lock. This means other CPUs will be able to see the new
address while it hasn't been initialized completely yet.
One possible fix would be to grab the ifp->lock spinlock when
creating the address struct; a simpler fix is to just move the
assignment.
