From: Zhiling Zou <redacted>
fib6_rule_suppress() drops a suppressed route with ip6_rt_put_flags(),
but leaves res->rt6 pointing at the released rt6_info.
If no later rule supplies a replacement, fib6_rule_lookup() still sees
res.rt6 and returns that stale dst to its caller. A suppressing rule can
therefore leak a released route back to rt6_lookup(), and the next put
hits rcuref_put_slowpath() from dst_release().
Clear res->rt6 when suppressing the route so suppressed lookups fall
through to the null dst instead of reusing the released one.
