If rt6_ifdown has already kicked the route out, then the dst ref count should be zero. Even if someone is still holding onto it dst_free will attach the entry to the GC list which means that it'll be freed when it eventually does hit zero. The ref count held by ipv6_ifa_notify is dropped by ip6_del_rt in case of an error.
