[PATCH net] ipv6: sr: properly initialize flowi6 prior passing to ip6_route_output

From: Shmulik Ladkani <hidden>
Date: 2018-12-07 07:50:29

In 'seg6_output', stack variable 'struct flowi6 fl6' was missing
initialization.

Fixes: 6c8702c60b88 ("ipv6: sr: add support for SRH encapsulation and injection with lwtunnels")
Signed-off-by: Shmulik Ladkani <redacted>

Suggeting this fix, spotted during code review while experimenting
with SRv6, although havn't encountered a specific issue during
experiments.

Was there any genuine intention to actually keep 'fl6' uninitialized?
