Andrey: can you add this to your runs? If it triggers again, we can see
if this use-after-free is another problem where the dst hit the gc list
and came back into the IPv6 FIB. The location of the idev entry in
rt6_info is after the size of rtable so if this is an IPv4 dst on the
IPv6 list it could trigger that warning.
