fib6_del() generates WARN_ON() when rt->dst.obsolete > 0. This does not
make sense because it is possible that the route passed in is already
deleted by some other thread and rt->dst.obsolete is set to
DST_OBSOLETE_DEAD.
So this commit deletes this WARN_ON() and also remove the
"#ifdef RT6_DEBUG >= 2" condition so that if the route is already
obsolete, we return right at the beginning of fib6_del().
