ipv6: A few fixes on dereferencing rt->from



It is a followup after the fix in
commit 9c69a132 ("route: Avoid crash from dereferencing NULL rt->from")

rt6_do_redirect():
1. NULL checking is needed on rt->from because a parallel
   fib6_info delete could happen that sets rt->from to NULL.
   (e.g. rt6_remove_exception() and fib6_drop_pcpu_from()).

2. fib6_info_hold() is not enough.  Same reason as (1).
   Meaning, holding dst->__refcnt cannot ensure
   rt->from is not NULL or rt->from->fib6_ref is not 0.

   Instead of using fib6_info_hold_safe() which ip6_rt_cache_alloc()
   is already doing, this patch chooses to extend the rcu section
   to keep "from" dereference-able after checking for NULL.

inet6_rtm_getroute():
1. NULL checking is also needed on rt->from for a similar reason.
   Note that inet6_rtm_getroute() is using RTNL_FLAG_DOIT_UNLOCKED.

Fixes: a68886a6 ("net/ipv6: Make from in rt6_info rcu protected")
