[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.
