Wei Wang e5645f51ba ipv6: release rt6->rt6i_idev properly during ifdown
When a dst is created by addrconf_dst_alloc() for a host route or an
anycast route, dst->dev points to loopback dev while rt6->rt6i_idev
points to a real device.
When the real device goes down, the current cleanup code only checks for
dst->dev and assumes rt6->rt6i_idev->dev is the same. This causes the
refcount leak on the real device in the above situation.
This patch makes sure to always release the refcount taken on
rt6->rt6i_idev during dst_dev_put().

Fixes: 587fea7411 ("ipv6: mark DST_NOGC and remove the operation of
dst_free()")

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
