Kuniyuki Iwashima 8b6dcb565e ipv6: Fix use-after-free in inet6_addr_del().
[ Upstream commit ddf96c393a ]

syzbot reported use-after-free of inet6_ifaddr in
inet6_addr_del(). [0]

The cited commit accidentally moved ipv6_del_addr() for
mngtmpaddr before reading its ifp->flags for temporary
addresses in inet6_addr_del().

Let's move ipv6_del_addr() down to fix the UAF.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
