Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: mcast: fix data-race in ipv6_mc_down / mld_ifc_work
idev->mc_ifc_count can be written over without proper locking.
Originally found by syzbot [1], fix this issue by encapsulating calls
to mld_ifc_stop_work() (and mld_gq_stop_work() for good measure) with
mutex_lock() and mutex_unlock() accordingly as these functions
should only be called with mc_lock per their declarations.
