Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/2] ipv6: release nexthop on device removal

The CI is hitting some aperiodic hangup at device removal time in the
pmtu.sh self-test:

unregister_netdevice: waiting for veth_A-R1 to become free. Usage count = 6
ref_tracker: veth_A-R1@...f888013df15d8 has 1/5 users at

	arp_solicit+0x4a2/0xe00
	neigh_probe+0xaa/0xf0

While the first suspect is the dst_cache, explicitly tracking the dst
owing the last device reference via probes proved such dst is held by
the nexthop in the originating fib6_info.

Similar to commit f5b51fe804ec ("ipv6: route: purge exception on
removal"), we need to explicitly release the originating fib info when
disconnecting a to-be-removed device from a live ipv6 dst: move the
fib6_info cleanup into ip6_dst_ifdown().

Tested running:

./pmtu.sh cleanup_ipv6_exception

in a tight loop for more than 400 iterations with no spat, running an
unpatched kernel  I observed a splat every ~10 iterations.

Fixes: f88d8ea67fbd ("ipv6: Plumb support for nexthop object in a fib6_info")
