[Devel] [PATCH 1/3] Lost locking when inserting a flowlabel in ipv6_fl_list

[Pavel Emelyanov]

The new flowlabels should be inserted into the sock list
under the ip6_sk_fl_lock. This was lost in one place.

This list is naturally protected with the socket lock, but
the fl6_sock_lookup() is called without it, so another
protection is required.
