Commit5eb902b8e7("net/ipv6: Remove expired routes with a separated list of routes.") introduced a separated list for managing route expiration via the GC timer. However, it missed adding exception routes (created by ip6_rt_update_pmtu() and rt6_do_redirect()) to this GC list. As a result, these exceptions were never considered for expiration and removal, leading to stale entries persisting in the routing table. This patch fixes the issue by calling fib6_add_gc_list() in rt6_insert_exception(), ensuring that exception routes are properly tracked and garbage collected when expired.

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 reStructuredText 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.
