A later patch removes rt6i_table from rt6_info. Save the ipv6
table for a VRF in net_vrf. fib tables can not be deleted so
no reference counting or locking is required.

Is this change really OK all by itself?

should. When you look at references to rt6i_table the only one for the
data path is changing sernum when inserting an exception. Exceptions are
not relevant for this special VRF dst as it is used for an internal
redirection before packets leave the box.

But if you want me to be extra cautious I can leave the rt6i_table
setting and remove it in patch 20 (remove unneeded rt6_info elements).

No, it's not necessary if it is really an isolated object like this.
