Subject: [ 27/84] ipv6: release reference of ip6_null_entrys dst entry in __ip6_del_rt

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Gao feng <gaofeng@...fujitsu.com>

[ Upstream commit 6825a26c2dc21eb4f8df9c06d3786ddec97cf53b ]

as we hold dst_entry before we call __ip6_del_rt,
so we should alse call dst_release not only return
-ENOENT when the rt6_info is ip6_null_entry.

and we already hold the dst entry, so I think it's
safe to call dst_release out of the write-read lock.
