ipv6: prevent a possible race condition with lifetimes
[ Upstream commit 6c0d8833a605e195ae219b5042577ce52bf71fff ]
valid_lft, prefered_lft and tstamp are always accessed under the lock

in inconsistencies regarding the calculation of the valid and preferred
variables since decisions are taken on these fields for those variables.
