net: ipv6: fib: don't sleep inside atomic lock

The function fib6_commit_metrics() allocates a piece of memory in mode
GFP_KERNEL while holding an atomic lock from higher up in the stack, in
the function __ip6_ins_rt(). This produces the following BUG:

Fixing this by replacing the mode GFP_KERNEL with GFP_ATOMIC.
