Subject: [PATCH v1 net-next 12/13] ipv6: Protect nh->f6i_list with spinlock and flag.

We will get rid of RTNL from RTM_NEWROUTE and SIOCADDRT.

Then, we may be going to add a route tied to a dying nexthop.

The nexthop itself is not freed during the RCU graceful period,
but if we link a route after __remove_nexthop_fib() is called for
the nexthop, the route will be leaked.

To avoid the race between IPv6 route addition under RCU vs nexthop
deletion under RTNL, let's add a dead flag and protect it and
nh->f6i_list with a spinlock.

__remove_nexthop_fib() acquires the nexthop's spinlock and sets false
to nh->dead, then calls ip6_del_rt() for the linked route one by one
without the spinlock because fib6_purge_rt() acquires it later.

While adding an IPv6 route, fib6_add() acquires the nexthop lock and
checks the dead flag just before inserting the route.
