net: fix potential refcount leak in ndisc_router_discovery()

The issue happens on specific paths in the function. After both the
object `rt` and `neigh` are grabbed successfully, when `lifetime` is
nonzero but the metric needs change, the function just deletes the
route and set `rt` to NULL. Then, it may try grabbing `rt` and `neigh`
again if above conditions hold. The function simply overwrite `neigh`
if succeeds or returns if fails, without decreasing the reference
count of previous `neigh`. This may result in memory leaks.

Fix it by decrementing the reference count of `neigh` in place.
