When a listener registers to the FIB notification chain it receives a
dump of the FIB entries and rules from existing address families by
invoking their dump operations.
While we call into these modules we need to make sure they aren't
removed. Do that by increasing their reference count before invoking
their dump operations and decrease it afterwards.

Dump all the FIB tables in each net namespace upon registration to the
FIB notification chain so that the callee will have a complete view of
the tables.
The integrity of the dump is ensured by a per-table sequence counter
that is incremented (under write lock) whenever a route is added or
deleted from the table.
All the sequence counters are read (under each table's read lock) and
summed, prior and after the dump. In case the counters differ, then the
dump is either restarted or the registration fails.
While it's possible for a table to be modified after its counter has
been read, this isn't really a problem. In case it happened before it
was read the second time, then the comparison at the end will fail. If
it happened afterwards, then we're guaranteed to be notified about the
change, as the notification block is registered prior to the second
read.

Allow users of the FIB notification chain to receive a complete view of
the IPv6 FIB rules upon registration to the chain.
The integrity of the dump is ensured by a per-family sequence counter
that is incremented (under RTNL) whenever a rule is added or deleted.
All the sequence counters are read (under RTNL) and summed, prior and
after the dump. In case the counters differ, then the dump is either
restarted or the registration fails.

We're about to add IPv6 FIB offload support, so implement the necessary
callbacks in IPv6 code, which will later allow us to add routes and
rules notifications.
