Subject: [PATCH 4.2 17/54] ipv6: Dont call with rt6_uncached_list_flush_dev

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

------------------

From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@...ssion.com>

[ Upstream commit e332bc67cf5e5e5b71a1aec9750d0791aac65183 ]

As originally written rt6_uncached_list_flush_dev makes no sense when
called with dev == NULL as it attempts to flush all uncached routes
regardless of network namespace when dev == NULL.  Which is simply
incorrect behavior.

Furthermore at the point rt6_ifdown is called with dev == NULL no more
network devices exist in the network namespace so even if the code in
rt6_uncached_list_flush_dev were to attempt something sensible it
would be meaningless.

Therefore remove support in rt6_uncached_list_flush_dev for handling
network devices where dev == NULL, and only call rt6_uncached_list_flush_dev
 when rt6_ifdown is called with a network device.

Fixes: 8d0b94afdca8 ("ipv6: Keep track of DST_NOCACHE routes in case of iface down/unregister")
