[PATCH net-next v4 01/10] ipv6: add ip6_del_rt_reason()

[Yuyang Huang]

Add RTA_DEL_REASON and enum rta_del_reason to the rtnetlink uAPI, and
add ip6_del_rt_reason(), which takes the reason a route is being
deleted. ip6_del_rt() becomes a wrapper that passes
RTA_DEL_REASON_UNSPEC, so its callers do not change.

The reason is unused for now. Subsequent patches propagate it to the
deletion path and report it on RTM_DELROUTE.
