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().
