3.16.7-ckt24 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

commit 3e4006f0b86a5ae5eb0e8215f9a9e1db24506977 upstream.

When first SYNACK is sent, we already hold rcu_read_lock(), but this
is not true if a SYNACK is retransmitted, as a timer (soft) interrupt
does not hold rcu_read_lock()

Fixes: 45f6fad84cc30 ("ipv6: add complete rcu protection around np->opt")
