[PATCH][MCAST]IPv6: doubt about ipv6_sk_mc_lock usage.

[Yan Zheng]

Hello.

I think ipv6_sk_mc_lock should protest both ipv6_mc_list and it's sflist. because they can are used by 
inet6_mc_check(...) in softirq and be modified by ip6_mc_source(...) or ip6_mc_msfilter(...) simultaneity.
I also remove read_lock when traverse ipv6_mc_list, because it's protected by lock_sock(sk).

Regards
