ipv6: avoid unregistering inet6_dev for loopback

commit 60abc0be upstream.

The per netns loopback_dev->ip6_ptr is unregistered and set to
NULL when its mtu is set to smaller than IPV6_MIN_MTU, this
leads to that we could set rt->rt6i_idev NULL after a
rt6_uncached_list_flush_dev() and then crash after another
call.

In this case we should just bring its inet6_dev down, rather
than unregistering it, at least prior to commit 176c39af
("netns: fix addrconf_ifdown kernel panic") we always
override the case for loopback.

Thanks a lot to Andrey for finding a reliable reproducer.

[bwh: Backported to 3.2: the NETDEV_CHANGEMTU case used to fall-through to the
 NETDEV_DOWN case here, so replace that with a separate call to addrconf_ifdown()]
