Subject: [PATCH net-next] ipv6: Not need to get address prefix

From: Li RongQing <roy.qing.li@...il.com>

Since addrconf_get_prefix_route and rt6_get_route_info input the address prefix
to fib6_locate, which does not uses the data which is out of the prefix_len length,
so do not need to use ipv6_addr_prefix to get address prefix for them.
