Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 1/2] net: track link status of ipv6 nexthops

Add support to track current link status of ipv6 nexthops to match
recent changes that added support for ipv4 nexthops.  This takes a
simple approach to track linkdown status for next-hops and simply
checks the dev for the dst entry and sets proper flags that to be used
in the netlink message.

v2: drop use of rt6i_nhflags since it is not needed right now

I realize this patch might be a bit different expected based on
conversations on netdev yesterday, but I got a few off-list
communications that indicated a preference to not expand rt6_info at
this time -- despite the fact that expansion will likely be needed for
switchdev offload of ipv6 fib entries in the near future.
