    Revert "MS/NET/IPV6: remove duplicate neigh_ifdown"
    
    This reverts commit 1727514587a11ec6c1a6704d86d9a0f3ec2d4bf1.
    "MS/NET/IPV6: remove duplicate neigh_ifdown"
    
    This patch should fix race described in PSBM-13449
    "
    addrconf_ifdown() calls neigh_ifdown(nd_tbl)
    neigh_ifdown() locks nd_tbl->lock for writing and calls pneigh_ifdown()
    Then we have the following call chain:
    pneigh_ifdown->pndisc_destructor->ipv6_dev_mc_dec->__ipv6_dev_mc_dec
     ->igmp6_group_dropped->igmp6_leave_group->igmp6_send
       ->icmp6_dst_alloc->ndisc_get_neigh
    
    ndisc_get_neigh() then calls __neigh_lookup_errno(nd_tbl) which calls neigh_lookup(nd_tbl)
    neigh_lookup() locks nd_tbl->lock for reading yielding a deadlock."
    
    Though it is not actual for vz7:
    icmp6_dst_alloc() does not calls ndisc_get_neigh()
