net/ipv6: avoid possible dead locking on addr_gen_mode sysctl
The addr_gen_mode variable can be accessed by both sysctl and netlink. Repleacd rtnl_lock() with rtnl_trylock() protect the sysctl operation to avoid the possbile dead lock.` Signed-off-by: Felix Jia <felix.jia@alliedtelesis.co.nz> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
