Sorry, the leak I saw was for the fib6 tables, not the rules
themselves.

IPV4 has ip_fib_net_exit() which walks the FIB4 table hash
and releases everything.

I couldn't find the IPV6 counterpart.  All I could find was code which
explicitly liberates the ipv6 main and local tables.

There is no ipv6 code I can find which traverses fib_table_hash and
liberates the dynamically generated tables.
