Thanks, but someone backported the commit mentioned in the Fixes line: Fixes: 93531c674315 ("net/ipv6: separate handling of FIB entries from dst based routes")

Just checked and that commit is not in 4.14 line.
It is one of like 90 other patches that actually depend on other changes in 4.15, 4.16. I can not imagine some poor soul backporting all of that to 4.14.
Argh, my scripts caught that the string "93531c674315" was included in the changelog for 4.14.72, but the context of that was: - fib6_info_release was introduced upstream in 93531c674315 ("net/ipv6: separate handling of FIB entries from dst based routes"), but is not present in stable kernels; 4.14.y relies on dst_release/ ip6_rt_put/dst_release_immediate.
So this was my mistake, thanks for pointing it out.
