[2.6.22.2 review 79/84] IPV6: /proc/net/anycast6 unbalancedinet6_dev refcnt

From: David Stevens <dlstevens@xxxxxxxxxx>

Reading /proc/net/anycast6 when there is no anycast address
on an interface results in an ever-increasing inet6_dev reference
count, as well as a reference to the netdevice you can't get rid of.
