ipv6: Add rt6_make_pcpu_route()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
It is a prep work for fixing a potential deadlock when creating
a pcpu rt.

The current rt6_get_pcpu_route() will also create a pcpu rt if one does not
exist.  This patch moves the pcpu rt creation logic into another function,
rt6_make_pcpu_route().
