ipv6: Remove permanent routes from tb6_gc_hlist when all exceptions expire.
Commit 5eb902b8e719 ("net/ipv6: Remove expired routes with a
separated list of routes.") introduced a per-table GC list and
changed GC to iterate over that list instead of traversing
the entire route table.
However, it forgot to add permanent routes to tb6_gc_hlist
when exception routes are added.
Commit cfe82469a00f ("ipv6: add exception routes to GC list
in rt6_insert_exception") fixed that issue but introduced
another one.
Even after all exception routes expire, the permanent routes
remain in tb6_gc_hlist, potentially negating the performance
benefits intended by the initial change.
Let's count gc_args->more before and after rt6_age_exceptions()
and remove the permanent route when the delta is 0.
Note that the next patch will reuse fib6_age_exceptions().
Fixes: cfe82469a00f ("ipv6: add exception routes to GC list in rt6_insert_exception")
