All the callers of ip6_rt_copy_init()/rt6_set_from() hold refcnt of the "from" fib6_info, so there is no need to hold fib6_metrics refcnt again, because fib6_metrics refcnt is only released when fib6_info is gone, that is, they have the same life time, so the whole fib6_metrics refcnt can be removed actually. This fixes a kmemleak warning reported by Sabrina.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ 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.
