3.13.11-ckt17 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 6e9e16e6143b725662e47026a1d0f270721cdd24 upstream. Lubomir Rintel reported that during replacing a route the interface reference counter isn't correctly decremented.

Usage count = 2 During replacement of a rt6_info we must walk all parent nodes and check if the to be replaced rt6_info got propagated. If so, replace it with an alive one.
