ipv6: Preallocate rt->fib6_nh->rt6i_pcpu in ip6_route_info_create().
ip6_route_info_create_nh() will be called under RCU.
Then, fib6_nh_init() is also under RCU, but per-cpu memory allocation
is very likely to fail with GFP_ATOMIC while bulk-adding IPv6 routes
and we would see a bunch of this message in dmesg.
percpu: allocation failed, size=8 align=8 atomic=1, atomic alloc failed, no space left
percpu: allocation failed, size=8 align=8 atomic=1, atomic alloc failed, no space left
Let's preallocate rt->fib6_nh->rt6i_pcpu in ip6_route_info_create().
If something fails before the original memory allocation in
fib6_nh_init(), ip6_route_info_create_nh() calls fib6_info_release(),
which releases the preallocated per-cpu memory.
Note that rt->fib6_nh->rt6i_pcpu is not preallocated when called via
ipv6_stub, so we still need alloc_percpu_gfp() in fib6_nh_init().
