[PATCH net-next] ipv6: use rcu_dereference_bh() in ipv6_route_seq_next()

[PATCH net-next] ipv6: use rcu_dereference_bh() in ipv6_route_seq_next()

[Wei Wang]

From: Wei Wang <weiwan@google.com>

This patch replaces rcu_deference() with rcu_dereference_bh() in
ipv6_route_seq_next() to avoid the following warning:
