Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 1/5] ipv6: Fold rt6_info_hash_nhsfn() into its only caller

Commit 644d0e656958 ("ipv6 Use get_hash_from_flowi6 for rt6 hash") has
turned rt6_info_hash_nhsfn() into a one-liner, so it no longer makes
sense to keep it around.

Also the accompanying documentation comment has become outdated, so just
remove it altogether.
