Your proposal would only solve part of the problem (the Oops in __ip6_del_rt()). Another problem here is that blackhole and prohibited rules should not be selected when trying to purge a prefix (correct me if I'm wrong) because they are not what we are looking for. This can prevent the targeted prefix from being purged. 

Thank you,
Romain
