[PATCH 3.12 084/122] ipv6: replacing a rt6_info needs to purge possible propagated rt6_infos too

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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

===============

[ Upstream commit 6e9e16e6143b725662e47026a1d0f270721cdd24 ]

Lubomir Rintel reported that during replacing a route the interface
reference counter isn't correctly decremented.

To quote bug <https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91941>:

During replacement of a rt6_info we must walk all parent nodes and check
if the to be replaced rt6_info got propagated. If so, replace it with
an alive one.
