[PATCH 2/2] ipv6: fixup RTF_* flags when restoring RTPROT_RA route from rtnetlink

STALE3697d

From: Andrew Yourtchenko <hidden>
Date: 2016-08-16 13:59:26
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [ipv4/ipv6], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, David Ahern, Ido Schimmel, Linus Torvalds

Fix the flags for RA-derived routes that were saved
via "ip -6 route save" and and subsequently restored via
"ip -6 route restore", allowing the incoming router advertisements
to update them, rather than complain about inability to do so.

Upon the restore of RA-derived saved routes, set the RTF_ADDRCONF
to indicate that the source of the route was originally
a router advertisement, and set the RTF_DEFAULT or RTF_ROUTEINFO
flag depending on prefix length. This can be considered a
sister change of f0396f60d7c165018c9b203fb9b89fb224835578, in
the other direction.
