Eric Dumazet c073d1b070 ipv6: mcast: use copy-on-write RCU updates in ip6_mc_source()
pmc->sflist is read locklessly under rcu_read_lock() by
inet6_mc_check() during packet reception in the UDP and RAW
multicast receive paths.

ip6_mc_source() mutated psl->sl_addr and psl->sl_count in-place
when adding or removing a source filter. Additionally, when expanding
the filter buffer, newpsl was published via rcu_assign_pointer()
before writing the new source into the array.

Because 16-byte struct in6_addr writes are not atomic and array
shifting is not synchronized with RCU readers, concurrent readers in
inet6_mc_check() could read torn IPv6 addresses or observe
duplicated/missed source entries.

Fix this by switching ip6_mc_source() to copy-on-write RCU updates:
allocate and fully populate newpsl before publishing it via
rcu_assign_pointer(), and reclaim the old filter via kfree_rcu(),
matching ip6_mc_msfilter().

Also remove the now unused IP6_SFBLOCK macro.
