We need a way to release a fib6_nh's per-cpu dsts when replacing
nexthops otherwise we can end up with stale per-cpu dsts which hold net
device references, so add a new IPv6 stub called fib6_nh_release_dsts.
It must be used after an RCU grace period, so no new dsts can be created
through a group's nexthop entry.
Similar to fib6_nh_release it shouldn't be used if fib6_nh_init has failed
so it doesn't need a dummy stub when IPv6 is not enabled.

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.
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.
