I found that this fix is still not sufficient with the mip6
(Mobile IPv6) use case.

FLOWI_FLAG_SKIP_NH_OIF is not checked anywhere else in ipv6
code, in ip6_route_output() etc.

Even if I added the check (like below), MH packets are not
sent at all from mobile node, home agent.

do you have any idea ?

I have a reproducible setup here with mip6. let me know if
you need further information.
