    netinet6/nd6: Sprinkle missing prefix refcounting
    
    When we drop the prefix lock to call nd6_prefix_offlink() or
    nd6_prefix_onlink(), make sure to keep the correpsonding prefix
    structure alive.  It is possible for a concurrent nd6_timer() to expire
    the prefix while the lock is dropped.
