Subject: [PATCH net-2.6] ipv6: Don't drop cache route entry unless timer actually expired.

This is ipv6 variant of the commit 5e016cbf6.. ("ipv4: Don't drop
redirected route cache entry unless PTMU actually expired")
by Guenter Roeck <guenter.roeck@...csson.com>.

Remove cache route entry in ipv6_negative_advice() only if
the timer is expired.
