ipv6: Fix mem leak in rt6i_pcpu

It was first reported and reproduced by Petr (thanks!) in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119581

free_percpu(rt->rt6i_pcpu) used to always happen in ip6_dst_destroy().

However, after fixing a deadlock bug in
commit 9c7370a166 ("ipv6: Fix a potential deadlock when creating pcpu rt"),
free_percpu() is not called before setting non_pcpu_rt->rt6i_pcpu to NULL.

It is worth to note that rt6i_pcpu is protected by table->tb6_lock.

kmemleak somehow did not report it.  We nailed it down by
observing the pcpu entries in /proc/vmallocinfo (first suggested
by Hannes, thanks!).
