ipv6: Change allocation flags to match rcu_read_lock section requirements

Since the call to __ip6_del_rt_siblings has been converted under
rcu read lock and it only has one call point
we should no longer block or yield.

Our stack trace from the syzbot reproducer looks as follows:

__ip6_del_rt_siblings
  rtnl_notify (Here we pass gfp_any() -> GFP_KERNEL)
    nlmsg_notify
      nlmsg_multicast
        nlmsg_multicast_filtered
          netlink_broadcast_filtered (GFP_KERNEL passed from earlier)

netlink_broadcast_filtered can yield if GFP_KERNEL
is passed, which we do not want to happen.

Fix this by changing the allocation flag of rtnl_notify.

Also change the flag passed to nlmsg_new. Even though it
is not related to the syzbot generated bug it still falls
under the same requirements.
