[PATCH v1 net-next] ipv4: Use EXPORT_IPV6_MOD_GPL() for ip_fib_metrics_init().

[Kuniyuki Iwashima]

ip_fib_metrics_init() is only called from fib_create_info()
and ip6_route_info_create().

Let's use EXPORT_IPV6_MOD_GPL() instead.

Thanks,

This matches my undestanding of the purpose of EXPORT_IPV6_MOD_GPL, as per
commit 54568a84c95b ("net: introduce EXPORT_IPV6_MOD() and EXPORT_IPV6_MOD_GPL()")
