[PATCH] Minor fixes to netinet6/icmp6.c

I found these nits while working on the patches to convert if_addr_mtx to an 
rwlock.  The first change is cosmetic, it just un-inlines a TAILQ_FOREACH().  
The second change is an actual bug.  The code is currently reading 
TAILQ_FIRST(&V_ifnet) without holding the appropriate lock.
