ipv6: per netns FIB garbage collection
One of our customers observed issues with FIB6 garbage collectors running in different network namespaces blocking each other, resulting in soft lockups (fib6_run_gc() initiated from timer runs always in forced mode). Now that FIB6 walkers are separated per namespace, there is no more need for instances of fib6_run_gc() in different namespaces blocking each other. There is still a call to icmp6_dst_gc() which operates on shared data but this function is protected by its own shared lock.
