Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: clean up rt6_clean_expires

Functionally, this change is a NOP.

Semantically, rt6_clean_expires() wants to do rt->dst.from = NULL instead of
rt->dst.expires = 0. It is clearing the RTF_EXPIRES flag, so the union is going
to be treated as a pointer (dst.from) not a long (dst.expires).
