hmm...I am not sure I follow this bits. Where is the warn?
Note that "nrt6" and "from" are passed to rt6_insert_exception()
instead of "rt6".

The existing rt6_do_update_pmtu() looks correct.
The mtu of the dst created by icmp6_dst_alloc()
needs to be udpated and this dst does not have
the RTF_CACHE.
