[PATCH 4.18 056/135] net/ipv6: Remove extra call to ip6_convert_metrics for multipath case

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

------------------

From: David Ahern <dsahern@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 36f19d5b4f99fa9fa8263877e5f8e669d7fddc14 ]

The change to move metrics from the dst to rt6_info moved the call
to ip6_convert_metrics from ip6_route_add to ip6_route_info_create. In
doing so it makes the call in ip6_route_info_append redundant and
actually leaks the metrics installed as part of the ip6_route_info_create.
Remove the now unnecessary call.

Fixes: d4ead6b34b67f ("net/ipv6: move metrics from dst to rt6_info")
