====================
net/ipv6: Another followup to the fib6_info change

Last one - for this week.

Patches 1, 2 and 7 are more cleanup patches - removing dead code,
moving code from a header to near its single caller, and updating
function name.

Patches 3-5 do some refactoring leading up to patch 6 which fixes
a NULL dereference. I have only managed to trigger a panic once, so
I can not definitively confirm it addresses the problem but it seems
pretty clear that it is a race on removing a 'from' reference on
an rt6_info and another path using that 'from' value to do
cookie checking.
