Based on a syzkaller report [1], I found that a per cpu allocation
failure in snmp6_alloc_dev() would then lead to NULL dereference in
ip6_route_dev_notify().

It seems this is a very old bug, thus no Fixes tag in this submission.

Let's add in6_dev_put_clear() helper, as we will probably use
it elsewhere (once available/present in net-next)
