Cosmin reports an issue with ipv6_add_dev being called from
NETDEV_CHANGE notifier:

[ 3455.008776]  ? ipv6_add_dev+0x370/0x620
[ 3455.010097]  ipv6_find_idev+0x96/0xe0

[ 3455.019046]  rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x177/0x5e0

Similarly, linkwatch might get to ipv6_add_dev without ops lock:
[ 3456.656261]  ? ipv6_add_dev+0x370/0x620
[ 3456.660039]  ipv6_find_idev+0x96/0xe0

[ 3456.663112]  linkwatch_do_dev+0x5a/0x70

[ 3456.664828]  worker_thread+0x1cc/0x380
[ 3456.665691]  kthread+0xf4/0x210

Reclassify NETDEV_CHANGE as a notifier that consistently runs under the
instance lock.
