ipv6: release rt6->rt6i_idev properly during ifdown
When a dst is created by addrconf_dst_alloc() for a host route or an
anycast route, dst->dev points to loopback dev while rt6->rt6i_idev
points to a real device.
When the real device goes down, the current cleanup code only checks for
dst->dev and assumes rt6->rt6i_idev->dev is the same. This causes the
refcount leak on the real device in the above situation.
This patch makes sure to always release the refcount taken on
rt6->rt6i_idev during dst_dev_put().

dst_free()")
