ipv6: annotate data-race in ndisc_router_discovery()

syzbot found that ndisc_router_discovery() could read and write in6_dev->ra_mtu without holding a lock [1]

This looks fine, IFLA_INET6_RA_MTU is best effort.

Add READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() to document the race.

Note that we might also reject illegal MTU values (mtu < IPV6_MIN_MTU || mtu > skb->dev->mtu) in a future patch.
