Subject: [PATCH 4.9 040/109] libcxgb: fix error check for ip6_route_output()

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

From: Varun Prakash <varun@...lsio.com>


[ Upstream commit a9a8cdb368d99bb655b5cdabea560446db0527cc ]

ip6_route_output() never returns NULL so
check dst->error instead of !dst.
