ip6_fib: Don't discard nodes with valid routing information in fib6_locate_1()
When we perform an inexact match on FIB nodes via fib6_locate_1(), longer
prefixes will be preferred to shorter ones. However, it might happen that
a node, with higher fn_bit value than some other, has no valid routing
information.
In this case, we'll pick that node, but it will be discarded by the check
on RTN_RTINFO in fib6_locate(), and we might miss nodes with valid routing
information but with lower fn_bit value.
This is apparent when a routing exception is created for a default route:
# ip -6 route list
fc00:1::/64 dev veth_A-R1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
fc00:2::/64 dev veth_A-R2 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
fc00:4::1 via fc00:2::2 dev veth_A-R2 metric 1024 pref medium
fe80::/64 dev veth_A-R1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
fe80::/64 dev veth_A-R2 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
default via fc00:1::2 dev veth_A-R1 metric 1024 pref medium
# ip -6 route list cache
fc00:4::1 via fc00:2::2 dev veth_A-R2 metric 1024 expires 593sec mtu 1500 pref medium
fc00:3::1 via fc00:1::2 dev veth_A-R1 metric 1024 expires 593sec mtu 1500 pref medium
# ip -6 route flush cache # node for default route is discarded
Failed to send flush request: No such process
# ip -6 route list cache
fc00:3::1 via fc00:1::2 dev veth_A-R1 metric 1024 expires 586sec mtu 1500 pref medium
Check right away if the node has a RTN_RTINFO flag, before replacing the
'prev' pointer, that indicates the longest matching prefix found so far.
