3.2.80-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Paolo Abeni <pab...@redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit 1cdda91871470f15e79375991bd2eddc6e86ddb1 ]
Currently, the egress interface index specified via IPV6_PKTINFO
is ignored by __ip6_datagram_connect(), so that RFC 3542 section 6.7
can be subverted when the user space application calls connect()
before sendmsg().
Fix it by initializing properly flowi6_oif in connect() before
performing the route lookup.
