ipv6_sock_mc_close() is called for ipv6 sockets at close time, and most
of them don't use multicast.

Add a test to avoid contention on a shared spinlock.

Same heuristic applies for ipv6_sock_ac_close(), to avoid contention
on a shared rwlock.

        What prevents a different thread from racing with the
tests for NULL on these?

The socket is being torn apart, which means that operations on it's
FD are no longer possible, which means that no other thread can add
entries to these lists.
