I hoped we could save some memory per fib6_node, but I'm fine with it.
I know, I did not want to add it either :( Speaking of which, several of the potential fixes for the rt6_probe() deadlock require adding even more things to the fib6_node (a linked list which some workqueue or similar can run, or a timer, etc.). So, I'm trying to figure out a way to get the rt6_probe() to run outside of the per-table rwlock without adding more state to fib6_node.
