mainlining shenanigans

With the previous preparation patches, we are ready to get rid of the dst gc operation in ipv6 code and release dst based on refcnt only. So this patch adds DST_NOGC flag for all IPv6 dst and remove the calls to dst_free() and its related functions. At this point, all dst created in ipv6 code do not use the dst gc anymore and will be destroyed at the point when refcnt drops to 0. Also, as icmp6 dst route is refcounted during creation and will be freed by user during its call of dst_release(), there is no need to add this dst to the icmp6 gc list as well. Instead, we need to add it into uncached list so that when a NETDEV_DOWN/NETDEV_UNREGISRER event comes, we can properly go through these icmp6 dst as well and release the net device properly.

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.
