ipv6: fib: Don't assume only nodes hold a reference on routes
The code currently assumes that only FIB nodes can hold a reference on routes. Therefore, after fib6_purge_rt() has run and the route is no longer present in any intermediate nodes, it's assumed that its reference count would be 1 - taken by the node where it's currently stored. However, we're going to allow users other than the FIB to take a reference on a route, so this assumption is no longer valid and the BUG_ON() needs to be removed. Note that purging only takes place if the initial reference count is different than 1. I've left that check intact, as in the majority of systems (where routes are only referenced by the FIB), it does actually mean the route is present in intermediate nodes.
