Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 1/1] Allow user to set metric on default route learned via Router Advertisement.

For IPv4, default route is learned via DHCPv4 and user is allowed to change
metric using config etc/network/interfaces. But for IPv6, default route can
be learned via RA, for which, currently a fixed metric value 1024 is used.

Ideally, user should be able to configure metric on default route for IPv6
similar to IPv4. This fix adds sysctl for the same.

Changes in v1.
---
1.) Correct the call to rt6_add_dflt_router.
---

Changes in v2.
[Refer: lkml.org/lkml/2021/1/14/1400]
---
1.) Replace accept_ra_defrtr_metric to ra_defrtr_metric.
2.) Change Type to __u32 instead of __s32.
3.) Change description in Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.rst.
4.) Use proc_douintvec instead of proc_dointvec.
5.) Code style in ndisc_router_discovery().
6.) Change Type to u32 instead of unsigned int.

For IPv4:

Config in etc/network/interfaces
----------------------------------------------------------------
```
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
    metric 4261413864
```

IPv4 Kernel Route Table:

```
$ ip route list

```

FRR Table, if a static route is configured.
[In real scenario, it is useful to prefer BGP learned default route over DHCPv4 default route.]
----------------------------------------------------------------
```
Codes: K - kernel route, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP,
       O - OSPF, I - IS-IS, B - BGP, P - PIM, E - EIGRP, N - NHRP,
       T - Table, v - VNC, V - VNC-Direct, A - Babel, D - SHARP,
       > - selected route, * - FIB route

S>* 0.0.0.0/0 [20/0] is directly connected, eth0, 00:00:03
K   0.0.0.0/0 [254/1000] via 172.21.47.1, eth0, 6d08h51m
```
----------------------------------------------------------------

***i.e. User can prefer Default Router learned via Routing Protocol in IPv4.***
***Similar behavior is not possible for IPv6, without this fix.***

----------------------------------------------------------------
After fix [for IPv6]:
----------------------------------------------------------------
```
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.net.ipv6.conf.eth0.ra_defrtr_metric=1996489705
```

IP monitor: [When IPv6 RA is received]
----------------------------------------------------------------
```
default via fe80::xx16:xxxx:feb3:ce8e dev eth0 proto ra metric 1996489705  pref high
```

Kernel IPv6 routing table
----------------------------------------------------------------
```
$ ip -6 route list
default via fe80::be16:65ff:feb3:ce8e dev eth0 proto ra metric 1996489705 expires 21sec hoplimit 64 pref high
```

FRR Table, if a static route is configured.
[In real scenario, it is useful to prefer BGP learned default route over IPv6 RA default route.]
----------------------------------------------------------------
```
Codes: K - kernel route, C - connected, S - static, R - RIPng,
       O - OSPFv3, I - IS-IS, B - BGP, N - NHRP, T - Table,
       v - VNC, V - VNC-Direct, A - Babel, D - SHARP,
       > - selected route, * - FIB route

S>* ::/0 [20/0] is directly connected, eth0, 00:00:06
K   ::/0 [119/1001] via fe80::xx16:xxxx:feb3:ce8e, eth0, 6d07h43m
```

If the metric is changed later, the effect will be seen only when next IPv6
RA is received, because the default route must be fully controlled by RA msg.
Below metric is changed from 1996489705 to 1996489704.
----------------------------------------------------------------
```
$ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.ra_defrtr_metric=1996489704
net.ipv6.conf.eth0.ra_defrtr_metric = 1996489704
```

IP monitor:
[On next IPv6 RA msg, Kernel deletes prev route and installs new route with updated metric]
----------------------------------------------------------------
```
Deleted default via fe80::xx16:xxxx:feb3:ce8e dev eth0 proto ra metric 1996489705  expires 3sec hoplimit 64 pref high
default via fe80::xx16:xxxx:feb3:ce8e dev eth0 proto ra metric 1996489704  pref high
```
