[PATCH] ipv6/route: Add a missing check on proc_dointvec

From: Aditya Pakki <hidden>
Date: 2018-12-24 16:30:31
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [ipv4/ipv6], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, David Ahern, Ido Schimmel, Linus Torvalds

While flushing the cache via  ipv6_sysctl_rtcache_flush(), the call
to proc_dointvec() may fail. The fix adds a check that returns the
error, on failure.
