Hi Nikolay,

Thanks for all the feedback and reviewing again! I'll
remove (most of) the inlines as the router list modifications are
not in the fast path.

For the get_rport_slot functions, maybe I'm missing a simple
solution. Note that "ip6_rlist" in hlist_for_each_entry() is not a
pointer but will be expanded by the macro. I currently don't see
how I could solve this with just one hlist_for_each_entry().
