[patch 05/11][NETNS][IPV6] ip6_fib - dynamically allocate the gc_timer

[Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: ip6-fib-dynamically-allocate-gc-timer.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3216 bytes --]

The ip6_fib_timer gc timer is dynamically allocated and initialized in
the ip6 fib init function. There are no more references to a
static global variable. That will allow to make multiple instance
of the garbage collecting timer and make them per namespace.
