ipv6: fix double refcount of fib6_metrics
All the callers of ip6_rt_copy_init()/rt6_set_from() hold refcnt of the "from" fib6_info, so there is no need to hold fib6_metrics refcnt again, because fib6_metrics refcnt is only released when fib6_info is gone, that is, they have the same life time, so the whole fib6_metrics refcnt can be removed actually. This fixes a kmemleak warning reported by Sabrina.
