According to a report [1], f6i->gc_link may point to a free block
causing use-after-free. According the stacktraces in the report, it is
very likely that a f6i was added to the GC list after being removed
from the tree of a fib6_table. The reason this can happen is the
current implementation determines if a f6i is on a tree in a wrong
way. It believes a f6i is on a tree if f6i->fib6_table is not NULL.
However, f6i->fib6_table is not reset when f6i is removed from a tree.

The new solution is to check if f6i->fib6_node is not NULL as well.
f6i->fib6_node is set/or reset when the f6i is added/or removed from
from a tree. It can be used to determines if a f6i is on a tree
reliably.

The other change is to determine if a f6i is on a GC list.  The
current implementation relies on RTF_EXPIRES on fib6_flags. It needs
to consider if a f6i is on a tree as well. The new solution is
checking hlist_unhashed() on f6i->gc_link, a clear evidence, instead.

Major changes from v1:

 - Split fib6_set_expires_locked() and fib6_clean_expires_locked()

 - Use hlist_unhashed() on gc_link instead of checking RTF_EXPIRES to
   determine if a f6i is on a GC list.

 - Add tests on toggling routes between permanent and temporary.
