net/ipv6: move metrics from dst to rt6_info
Similar to IPv4, add fib metrics to the fib struct, which at the moment
is rt6_info. Will be moved to fib6_info in a later patch. Copy metrics
into dst by reference using refcount.
To make the transition:
- add dst_metrics to rt6_info. Default to dst_default_metrics if no
metrics are passed during route add. No need for a separate pmtu
entry; it can reference the MTU slot in fib6_metrics
- ip6_convert_metrics allocates memory in the FIB entry and uses
ip_metrics_convert to copy from netlink attribute to metrics entry
- the convert metrics call is done in ip6_route_info_create simplifying
the route add path
+ fib6_commit_metrics and fib6_copy_metrics and the temporary
mx6_config are no longer needed
- add fib6_metric_set helper to change the value of a metric in the
fib entry since dst_metric_set can no longer be used
- cow_metrics for IPv6 can drop to dst_cow_metrics_generic
- rt6_dst_from_metrics_check is no longer needed
- rt6_fill_node needs the FIB entry and dst as separate arguments to
keep compatibility with existing output. Current dst address is
renamed to dest.
(to be consistent with IPv4 rt6_fill_node really should be split
into 2 functions similar to fib_dump_info and rt_fill_info)
- rt6_fill_node no longer needs the temporary metrics variable
