[IPV6]: Fix refcounting for anycast dst entries.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Anycast DST entries allocated inside ipv6_dev_ac_inc are leaked when
network device is stopped without removing IPv6 addresses from it. The
bug has been observed in the reality on 2.6.18-rhel5 kernel.

In the above case addrconf_ifdown marks all entries as obsolete and
ip6_del_rt called from __ipv6_dev_ac_dec returns ENOENT. The
referrence is not dropped.

The fix is simple. DST entry should not keep referrence when stored in
the FIB6 tree.
