Wei Wang 28259bac7f ipv6: fix suspecious RCU usage warning
Syzbot reported the suspecious RCU usage in nexthop_fib6_nh() when
called from ipv6_route_seq_show(). The reason is ipv6_route_seq_start()
calls rcu_read_lock_bh(), while nexthop_fib6_nh() calls
rcu_dereference_rtnl().
The fix proposed is to add a variant of nexthop_fib6_nh() to use
rcu_dereference_bh_rtnl() for ipv6_route_seq_show().

The reported trace is as follows:
./include/net/nexthop.h:416 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

other info that might help us debug this:

rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1

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.
