[IPV6]: Fix ip6_frag ctl
Alexey Dobriyan reported an oops when unsharing the network
indefinitely inside a loop. This is because the ip6_frag is not per
namespace while the ctls are.
That happens at the fragment timer expiration:
inet_frag_secret_rebuild function is called and this one restarts the
timer using the value stored inside the sysctl field.
"mod_timer(&f->secret_timer, now + f->ctl->secret_interval);"
When the network is unshared, ip6_frag.ctl is initialized with the new
sysctl instances, but ip6_frag has only one instance. A race in this
case will appear because f->ctl can be modified during the read access
in the timer callback.
Until the ip6_frag is not per namespace, I discard the assignation to
the ctl field of ip6_frags in ip6_frag_sysctl_init when the network
namespace is not the init net.
