Subject: [PATCH net] mpls: fix clearing of dead nh_flags on link up

From: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@...ulusnetworks.com>

recent fixes to use WRITE_ONCE for nh_flags on link up,
accidently ended up leaving the deadflags on a nh. This patch
fixes the WRITE_ONCE to use freshly evaluated nh_flags.

Fixes: 39eb8cd17588 ("net: mpls: rt_nhn_alive and nh_flags should be accessed using READ_ONCE")
