Wei Wang 4512c43eac ipv6: remove null_entry before adding default route
In the current code, when creating a new fib6 table, tb6_root.leaf gets
initialized to net->ipv6.ip6_null_entry.
If a default route is being added with rt->rt6i_metric = 0xffffffff,
fib6_add() will add this route after net->ipv6.ip6_null_entry. As
null_entry is shared, it could cause problem.

In order to fix it, set fn->leaf to NULL before calling
fib6_add_rt2node() when trying to add the first default route.
And reset fn->leaf to null_entry when adding fails or when deleting the
last default route.

syzkaller reported the following issue which is fixed by this commit:

WARNING: suspicious RCU usage

-----------------------------
net/ipv6/ip6_fib.c:1702 suspicious rcu_dereference_protected() usage!

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.
