[IPv6] route: FIB6 configuration using struct fib6_config
Replaces the struct in6_rtmsg based interface orignating from
the ioctl interface with a struct fib6_config based on. Allows
changing the interface without breaking the ioctl interface
and avoids passing on tons of parameters.
The recently introduced struct nl_info is used to pass on
netlink authorship information for notifications.

[PKT_SCHED]: Kill pkt_act.h inlining.
This was simply making templates of functions and mostly causing a lot
of code duplication in the classifier action modules.
We solve this more cleanly by having a common "struct tcf_common" that
hash worker functions contained once in act_api.c can work with.
Callers work with real action objects that have the common struct
plus their module specific struct members. You go from a common
object to the higher level one using a "to_foo()" macro which makes
use of container_of() to do the dirty work.
This also kills off act_generic.h which was only used by act_simple.c
and keeping it around was more work than the it's value.
