nft_fib6_info_nh_uses_dev() runs from nft_fib6_eval() in softirq under
rcu_read_lock().  fib6_siblings is modified by writers that hold
tb6_lock but do not wait for RCU readers, so the sibling walk should
use list_for_each_entry_rcu(): it adds READ_ONCE() on the ->next
pointer and lets CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST validate the locking.

No functional change for non-debug builds.
