I've confirmed that IPv6-encapsulated packets are not dropped even if
the flag is not set and the outer source IP address is not assigned to
the host. This is also expected given we never check for
FLOWI_FLAG_ANYSRC on the IPv6 path. I must have been confused by the
fact we sometimes still set FLOWI_FLAG_ANYSRC for IPv6.

I've sent a v2 without the changes to IPv6 code paths.
