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

------------------

From: Sergey Popovich <popovich_sergei at mail.ru>

[ Upstream commit aeefa1ecfc799b0ea2c4979617f14cecd5cccbfd ]

Increment fib_info_cnt in fib_create_info() right after successfuly
alllocating fib_info structure, overwise fib_metrics allocation failure
leads to fib_info_cnt incorrectly decremented in free_fib_info(), called
on error path from fib_create_info().
