__ipv6_dev_mc_dec() internally uses sleepable functions so that caller
must not acquire atomic locks. But caller, which is addrconf_verify_rtnl()
acquires rcu_read_lock_bh().
So this warning occurs in the __ipv6_dev_mc_dec().
Test commands:
ip netns add A
ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1
ip link set veth1 netns A
ip link set veth0 up
ip netns exec A ip link set veth1 up
ip a a 2001:db8::1/64 dev veth0 valid_lft 2 preferred_lft 1
Splat looks like:

In order to avoid this problem, it uses rcu_read_unlock_bh() for
a short time. RCU is used for avoiding freeing
ifp(struct *inet6_ifaddr) while ifp is being used. But this will
not be released even if rcu_read_unlock_bh() is used.
Because before rcu_read_unlock_bh(), it uses in6_ifa_hold(ifp).
So this is safe.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
