Kuniyuki Iwashima accb46b56b ipv6: Defer fib6_purge_rt() in fib6_add_rt2node() to fib6_add().
The next patch adds per-nexthop spinlock which protects nh->f6i_list.

When rt->nh is not NULL, fib6_add_rt2node() will be called under the lock.
fib6_add_rt2node() could call fib6_purge_rt() for another route, which
could holds another nexthop lock.

Then, deadlock could happen between two nexthops.

Let's defer fib6_purge_rt() after fib6_add_rt2node().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
