CVE-2026-23010

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

ipv6: Fix use-after-free in inet6addrdel().

syzbot reported use-after-free of inet6ifaddr in inet6addr_del(). [0]

The cited commit accidentally moved ipv6deladdr() for mngtmpaddr before reading its ifp->flags for temporary addresses in inet6addrdel().

Let's move ipv6deladdr() down to fix the UAF.
