CVE-2024-26631

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipv6: mcast: fix data-race in ipv6mcdown / mldifcwork

idev->mcifccount can be written over without proper locking.

Originally found by syzbot [1], fix this issue by encapsulating calls to mldifcstopwork() (and mldgqstopwork() for good measure) with mutexlock() and mutexunlock() accordingly as these functions should only be called with mc_lock per their declarations.
