In the 4.17 kernel (prior to the fib6_info change), ip6_rt_cache_alloc
calls __ip6_dst_alloc with 0 for flags so this is correct. The mistake
is ip6_rt_copy_init -> ip6_rt_init_dst -> fib6_info_dst_flags.
I believe the right fix is to drop the 'rt->dst.flags |=
fib6_info_dst_flags(ort);' from ip6_rt_init_dst.
