afiucv_netdev_event() traverses iucv_sk_list without holding
iucv_sk_list.lock.
A concurrent socket teardown can unlink and free an af_iucv socket via
iucv_sock_kill() while the netdevice notifier path is still traversing
the list, resulting in a use-after-free when dereferencing the socket.
syzbot reported a KASAN slab-use-after-free triggered from the netdevice
notifier path:

Protect the list traversal with the existing read-side lock.
Use read_lock_bh()/read_unlock_bh() to synchronize with
write_lock_bh()-protected updates to iucv_sk_list.
