This commit makes use of the exception hash table implementation to store dst caches created by pmtu discovery and ip redirect into the hash table under the rt_info and no longer inserts these routes into fib6 tree. This makes the fib6 tree only contain static configured routes and could now be protected by rcu instead of a rw lock. With this change, in the route lookup related functions, after finding the rt6_info with the longest prefix, we also need to search for the exception table before doing backtracking. In the route delete function, if the route being deleted is not a dst cache, deletion of this route also need to flush the whole hash table under it. If it is a dst cache, then only delete the cached dst in the hash table. Note: for fib6_walk_continue() function, w->root now is always pointing to a root node considering that fib6_prune_clones() is removed from the code. So we add a WARN_ON() msg to make sure w->root always points to a root node and also removed the update of w->root in fib6_repair_tree(). This is a prerequisite for later patch because we don't need to make w->root as rcu protected when replacing rwlock with RCU. Also, we remove all prune related variables as it is no longer used.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
