3.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 793c3b4000a1ef611ae7e5c89bd2a9c6b776cb5e ]
The function fib6_commit_metrics() allocates a piece of memory in mode
GFP_KERNEL while holding an atomic lock from higher up in the stack, in
the function __ip6_ins_rt(). This produces the following BUG:
> BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slub.c:1250
> in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 2909, name: dhcpcd
> 2 locks held by dhcpcd/2909:

Fixing this by replacing the mode GFP_KERNEL with GFP_ATOMIC.
