[ Upstream commit f8d8ce1b515a0a6af72b30502670a406cfb75073 ]
fib6_info_uses_dev() seems to rely on RCU without an explicit protection.
Like the prior fix in rt6_nlmsg_size(), we need to make sure fib6_del_route() or fib6_add_rt2node() have not removed the anchor from the list, or we risk an infinite loop.
