Argh, my scripts caught that the string "93531c674315" was included in
the changelog for 4.14.72, but the context of that was:
- fib6_info_release was introduced upstream in 93531c674315
("net/ipv6: separate handling of FIB entries from dst based
routes"), but is not present in stable kernels; 4.14.y relies
on dst_release/ ip6_rt_put/dst_release_immediate.
So this was my mistake, thanks for pointing it out.
