I don't look too much, but a quick glance shows in the following
path:

} else if (action == DAD_ABORT) {
in6_ifa_hold(ifp);
addrconf_dad_stop(ifp, 1);
if (disable_ipv6)
addrconf_ifdown(idev->dev, 0);
goto out;
}

the inet6_addr could be removed from hash table in
addrconf_ifdown() before calling in6_ifa_put(). which causes
this warning.
