Subject: [PATCH net] ipv6: replacing a rt6_info needs to purge possible propagated rt6_infos too

Lubomir Rintel reported that during replacing a route the interface
reference counter isn't correctly decremented.

To quote bug <https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91941>:

During replacement of a rt6_info we must walk all parent nodes and check
if the to be replaced rt6_info got propagated. If so, replace it with
an alive one.
