This is a backport of #86553 to v3.7. It does not have commit d5335d3 as the feature it is fixing was not present in v3.7
In order to avoid any mutex deadlocks between iface->lock and TX lock, release the interface lock before calling a function that will acquire TX lock. See previous commit for similar issue in RS timer handling. So here we create a separate list of multicast addresses that are to be rejoined when network interface comes up and then rejoin the groups without iface->lock held.
Fixes #86499
