Does your use case that triggers this involve replacing routes? I just noticed the route delete code in fib6_add_rt2node does not have the 'Adjust walkers' code that is in fib6_del_route. Further, the adjust walkers code in fib6_del_route looks suspicious in its timing with route deletes. If you have a reliable reproducer we can try a few things with fib6_del_route and the walker code.
