Ido Schimmel 922c2ac82e ipv6: Take table lock outside of sernum update function
The next patch is going to allow dead routes to remain in the FIB tree
in certain situations.

When this happens we need to be sure to bump the sernum of the nodes
where these are stored so that potential copies cached in sockets are
invalidated.

The function that performs this update assumes the table lock is not
taken when it is invoked, but that will not be the case when it is
invoked by the tree walker.

Have the function assume the lock is taken and make the single caller
take the lock itself.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
