David Ahern b2c709cce6 ipv6: Convert gateway validation to use fib6_info
Gateway validation does not need a dst_entry, it only needs the fib
entry to validate the gateway resolution and egress device. So,
convert ip6_nh_lookup_table from ip6_pol_route to fib6_table_lookup
and ip6_route_check_nh to use fib6_lookup over rt6_lookup.

ip6_pol_route is a call to fib6_table_lookup and if successful a call
to fib6_select_path. From there the exception cache is searched for an
entry or a dst_entry is created to return to the caller. The exception
entry is not relevant for gateway validation, so what matters are the
calls to fib6_table_lookup and then fib6_select_path.

Similarly, rt6_lookup can be replaced with a call to fib6_lookup with
RT6_LOOKUP_F_IFACE set in flags. Again, the exception cache search is
not relevant, only the lookup with path selection. The primary difference
in the lookup paths is the use of rt6_select with fib6_lookup versus
rt6_device_match with rt6_lookup. When you remove complexities in the
rt6_select path, e.g.,
1. saddr is not set for gateway validation, so RT6_LOOKUP_F_HAS_SADDR
   is not relevant
2. rt6_check_neigh is not called so that removes the RT6_NUD_FAIL_DO_RR
   return and round-robin logic.

the code paths are believed to be equivalent for the given use case -
validate the gateway and optionally given the device. Furthermore, it
aligns the validation with onlink code path and the lookup path actually
used for rx and tx.

Adjust the users, ip6_route_check_nh_onlink and ip6_route_check_nh to
handle a fib6_info vs a rt6_info when performing validation checks.

Existing selftests fib-onlink-tests.sh and fib_tests.sh are used to
verify the changes.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
