net: Consolidate metrics handling for ipv4 and ipv6
As part of the IPv6 fib info refactoring, the intent was to make metrics
handling for ipv6 identical to ipv4. One oversight in ip6_dst_destroy
led to confusion and a couple of incomplete attempts at finding and
fixing the resulting memory leak which was ultimately resolved by
ce7ea4af08 ("ipv6: fix memory leak on dst->_metrics").
Refactor metrics hanlding make the code really identical for v4 and v6,
and add a few test cases.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
