commit ceed9038b2783d14e0422bdc6fd04f70580efb4c upstream.
The multicast route ff00::/8 is created with type RTN_UNICAST:
$ ip -6 -d route
unicast ::1 dev lo proto kernel scope global metric 256 pref medium
unicast fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel scope global metric 256 pref medium
unicast ff00::/8 dev eth0 proto kernel scope global metric 256 pref medium
Set the type to RTN_MULTICAST which is more appropriate.
Fixes: e8478e80e5a7 ("net/ipv6: Save route type in rt6_info")
