OK but if ort's metrics are writeable we must perform the dst_copy_metrics()
and therefore fill rt6i_dst before ?

My first patch had an issue in rt6_alloc_cow(), line 710, where 
ipv6_addr_equal(&rt->rt6i_dst.addr, daddr) becomes always true.

I guess I can replace it by ipv6_addr_equal(&ort->rt6i_dst.addr, daddr)
