ipv6: don't release rt->rt6i_pcpu memory during rt6_release()
After rwlock is replaced with rcu and spinlock, route lookup can happen simultanously with route deletion. This patch removes the call to free_percpu(rt->rt6i_pcpu) from rt6_release() to avoid the race condition between rt6_release() and rt6_get_pcpu_route(). And as free_percpu(rt->rt6i_pcpu) is already called in ip6_dst_destroy() after the rcu grace period, it is safe to do this change.
