net: Fix IP_MULTICAST_IF
ipv4/ipv6 setsockopt(IP_MULTICAST_IF) have dubious __dev_get_by_index() calls. This function should be called only with RTNL or dev_base_lock held, or reader could see a corrupt hash chain and eventually enter an endless loop. Fix is to call dev_get_by_index()/dev_put(). If this happens to be performance critical, we could define a new dev_exist_by_index() function to avoid touching dev refcount.
