ipv6/addrconf: switch to per netns inet6_addr_lst hash table
IPv6 does not scale very well with the number of IPv6 addresses.
It uses a global (shared by all netns) hash table with 256 buckets.
Some functions like addrconf_verify_rtnl() and addrconf_ifdown()
have to iterate all addresses in the hash table.
I have seen addrconf_verify_rtnl() holding the cpu for 10ms or more.
Switch to the per netns hashtable (and spinlock) added
in prior patches.
This considerably speeds up netns dismantle times on hosts
with thousands of netns. This also has an impact
on regular (fast path) IPv6 processing.
