Subject: [PATCH net] ipv4: reject RTNH_F_LINKDOWN for incompatible routes

Vegard Nossum is reporting for a crash in fib_dump_info (fib_nhs==1)
when nh_dev = NULL. Problem happens when RTNH_F_LINKDOWN is
provided from user space for routes that do not use the flag,
catched with netlink fuzzer.

RTNH_F_LINKDOWN should be used only for link routes, not for
local routes or for routes with error code. Do not complicate
fast path with more checks, reject the flag early when configured
for incompatible routes.

Reported-by: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@...cle.com>
Fixes: 0eeb075fad73 ("net: ipv4 sysctl option to ignore routes when nexthop link is down")
