ipv6: route: purge exception on removal

[ Upstream commit f5b51fe804ec2a6edce0f8f6b11ea57283f5857b ]

When a netdevice is unregistered, we flush the relevant exception
via rt6_sync_down_dev() -> fib6_ifdown() -> fib6_del() -> fib6_del_route().

Finally, we end-up calling rt6_remove_exception(), where we release
the relevant dst, while we keep the references to the related fib6_info and
dev. Such references should be released later when the dst will be
destroyed.

There are a number of caches that can keep the exception around for an
unlimited amount of time - namely dst_cache, possibly even socket cache.
As a result device registration may hang, as demonstrated by this script:

ip netns add cl
ip netns add rt
ip netns add srv
ip netns exec rt sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1

ip link add name cl_veth type veth peer name cl_rt_veth
ip link set dev cl_veth netns cl
ip -n cl link set dev cl_veth up
ip -n cl addr add dev cl_veth 2001::2/64
ip -n cl route add default via 2001::1

ip -n cl link add tunv6 type ip6tnl mode ip6ip6 local 2001::2 remote 2002::1 hoplimit 64 dev cl_veth
ip -n cl link set tunv6 up
ip -n cl addr add 2013::2/64 dev tunv6

ip link set dev cl_rt_veth netns rt
ip -n rt link set dev cl_rt_veth up
ip -n rt addr add dev cl_rt_veth 2001::1/64

ip link add name rt_srv_veth type veth peer name srv_veth
ip link set dev srv_veth netns srv
ip -n srv link set dev srv_veth up
ip -n srv addr add dev srv_veth 2002::1/64
ip -n srv route add default via 2002::2

ip -n srv link add tunv6 type ip6tnl mode ip6ip6 local 2002::1 remote 2001::2 hoplimit 64 dev srv_veth
ip -n srv link set tunv6 up
ip -n srv addr add 2013::1/64 dev tunv6

ip link set dev rt_srv_veth netns rt
ip -n rt link set dev rt_srv_veth up
ip -n rt addr add dev rt_srv_veth 2002::2/64

ip netns exec srv netserver & sleep 0.1
ip netns exec cl ping6 -c 4 2013::1
ip netns exec cl netperf -H 2013::1 -t TCP_STREAM -l 3 & sleep 1
ip -n rt link set dev rt_srv_veth mtu 1400
wait %2

ip -n cl link del cl_veth

This commit addresses the issue purging all the references held by the
exception at time, as we currently do for e.g. ipv6 pcpu dst entries.

v1 -> v2:
 - re-order the code to avoid accessing dst and net after dst_dev_put()
