[IPV6]: Fix race in route selection.
We eliminated rt6_dflt_lock (to protect default router pointer) at 2.6.17-rc1, and introduced rt6_select() for general router selection. The function is called in the context of rt6_lock read-lock held, but this means, we have some race conditions when we do round-robin.
