It duplicates a part of it but in a safe way because the fib6_nh could still be visible,
while fib6_nh_release does it in a way that assumes it's not. I could re-use
this helper in fib6_nh_release though, since it doesn't matter how the entries are
freed there. I'm guessing that is what you meant?
I'll take care of that and of the few possible optimizations for nexthop in net-next.
Thanks,
Nik
