In IPv6 routing code, struct rt6_info is created for each static route and RTF_CACHE route and inserted into fib6 tree. In both cases, dst ref count is not taken. As explained in the previous patch, this leads to the need of the dst garbage collector. This patch holds ref count of dst before inserting the route into fib6 tree and properly releases the dst when deleting it from the fib6 tree as a preparation in order to fully get rid of dst gc later. Also, correct fib6_age() logic to check dst->__refcnt to be 1 to indicate no user is referencing the dst. And remove dst_hold() in vrf_rt6_create() as ip6_dst_alloc() already puts dst->__refcnt to 1.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
