SMACK: Add the rcu synchronization mechanism in ipv6 hooks
Add the rcu synchronization mechanism for accessing smk_ipv6_port_list in smack IPv6 hooks. Access to the port list is vulnerable to a race condition issue,it does not apply proper synchronization methods while working on critical section. It is possible that when one thread is reading the list, at the same time another thread is modifying the same port list, which can cause the major problems. To ensure proper synchronization between two threads, rcu mechanism has been applied while accessing and modifying the port list. RCU will also not affect the performance, as there are more accesses than modification where RCU is most effective synchronization mechanism.
