ipv6: Export sernum update function
We are going to allow dead routes to stay in the FIB tree (e.g., when they are part of a multipath route, directly connected route with no carrier) and revive them when their nexthop device gains carrier or when it is put administratively up. This is equivalent to the addition of the route to the FIB tree and we should therefore take care of updating the sernum of all the parent nodes of the node where the route is stored. Otherwise, we risk sockets caching and using sub-optimal dst entries. Export the function that performs the above, so that it could be invoked from fib6_ifup() later on.
