Does your use case that triggers this involve replacing routes? I just
noticed the route delete code in fib6_add_rt2node does not have the
'Adjust walkers' code that is in fib6_del_route.

Further, the adjust walkers code in fib6_del_route looks suspicious in
its timing with route deletes. If you have a reliable reproducer we can
try a few things with fib6_del_route and the walker code.
