Hi, Alexey,
Increasing the reference count here is to prevent this route being deleted
by fib6_age() within 30secs. There is no dereference in this function. This
route will be deleted after expire time 10 mins no matter whether it has
any reference or not.
Thanks

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
and similar dst_hold() below. Where is this reference released? I do not
see.
