ipv6: Fix mem leak in rt6i_pcpu
It was first reported and reproduced by Petr (thanks!) in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119581 free_percpu(rt->rt6i_pcpu) used to always happen in ip6_dst_destroy(). However, after fixing a deadlock bug in commit 9c7370a166b4 ("ipv6: Fix a potential deadlock when creating pcpu rt"), free_percpu() is not called before setting non_pcpu_rt->rt6i_pcpu to NULL. It is worth to note that rt6i_pcpu is protected by table->tb6_lock. kmemleak somehow did not report it. We nailed it down by observing the pcpu entries in /proc/vmallocinfo (first suggested by Hannes, thanks!).
