[patch 13/19] [IPV6]: Fix route lifetime.

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>]

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org>

The route expiration time is stored in rt6i_expires in jiffies.
The argument of rt6_route_add() for adding a route is not the
expiration time in jiffies nor in clock_t, but the lifetime
(or time left before expiration) in clock_t.

Because of the confusion, we sometimes saw several strange errors
(FAILs) in TAHI IPv6 Ready Logo Phase-2 Self Test.
The symptoms were analyzed by Mitsuru Chinen <CHINEN@jp.ibm.com>.
