[PATCH] ipv6: icmp: Add protection from concurrent users in the function icmpv6_echo_reply

[Bastien Philbert]

This adds protection from concurrenct users in the function
icmpv6_echo_reply around the call to the function __in6_dev_get
by locking/unlocking around this call with calls to the functions
rtnl_lock and rtnl_unlock to protect against concurrent users
when calling this function in icmpv6_echo_reply as stated in the
comments for locking requirements for the function, __in6_dev_get.
