Yeah, I noticed that today, but I don't think that's the problem we're
seeing here.

Yeah, I'm fine with a revert, we can fix the leak later.
syzbot hasn't found a reproducer so I'm not sure it's the same issue,
but I ran into this: we can create a route, start using it, and then
give it some metrics. In that case, we'll hit rt6_set_from() with the
default metrics, so we don't refcount them. Then fib6_metric_set()
will assign the new metrics to the parent route.
Then fib6_drop_pcpu_from will see that the parent route has
non-default metrics, and try to release this, but the percpu copy
doesn't actually hold a reference. Bandaid would be to put a
DST_METRICS_REFCOUNTED check in fib6_drop_pcpu_from().
Looking at rt6_set_from(), it seems we can also do dst_init_metrics
with the old metrics, then refcount the new metrics.
And I'm not sure whether the refcount_set in fib6_metric_set() can't
be reordered so that rt6_set_from() might see the new metrics pointer,
increment the refcount, then fib6_metric_set() would do its
refcount_set, stepping over the previous increment.
