[PATCH] ipv6: Use memset_after() to zero rt6_info

From: Kees Cook <hidden>
Date: 2021-11-18 20:32:46
Also in: linux-hardening, 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

In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time
field bounds checking for memset(), avoid intentionally writing across
neighboring fields.

Use memset_after() to clear everything after the dst_entry member of
struct rt6_info.
