[PATCH 5.10 08/34] net: ipv4: fix regression in local-broadcast routes

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

5.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 5189446ba995556eaa3755a6e875bc06675b88bd ]

Commit 9e30ecf23b1b ("net: ipv4: fix incorrect MTU in broadcast routes")
introduced a regression where local-broadcast packets would have their
gateway set in __mkroute_output, which was caused by fi = NULL being
removed.

Fix this by resetting the fib_info for local-broadcast packets. This
preserves the intended changes for directed-broadcast packets.
