Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ipv6: save route expiry in RTA_EXPIRES if RTF_EXPIRES set

This allows "ip -6 route save" to save the expiry for the routes
that have it, such that it can be correctly restored later by
"ip -6 route restore".

If a route has RTF_EXPIRES set, generate RTA_EXPIRES value which
will be used to restore the flag and expiry value by already
existing code in rtm_to_fib6_config.

The expiry was already being saved as part of RTA_CACHEINFO
in rtnl_put_cacheinfo(), but adding code to generate RTF_EXPIRES upon save
looked more appropriate than redundant cherrypicking from
RTA_CACHEINFO upon restore.
