ipv6: Factorise ip6_route_multipath_add().
We will get rid of RTNL from RTM_NEWROUTE and SIOCADDRT and rely on RCU to guarantee dev and nexthop lifetime. Then, the RCU section will start before ip6_route_info_create_nh() in ip6_route_multipath_add(), but ip6_route_info_create() is called in the same loop and will sleep. Let's split the loop into ip6_route_mpath_info_create() and ip6_route_mpath_info_create_nh(). Note that ip6_route_info_append() is now integrated into ip6_route_mpath_info_create_nh() because we need to call different free functions for nexthops that passed ip6_route_info_create_nh(). In case of failure, the remaining nexthops that ip6_route_info_create_nh() has not been called for will be freed by ip6_route_mpath_info_cleanup(). OTOH, if a nexthop passes ip6_route_info_create_nh(), it will be linked to a local temporary list, which will be spliced back to rt6_nh_list. In case of failure, these nexthops will be released by fib6_info_release() in ip6_route_multipath_add().
