Applied and queued up for -stable, thanks.

[PATCH net] ipv6: sr: properly initialize flowi6 prior passing to ip6_route_output

[Shmulik Ladkani]

In 'seg6_output', stack variable 'struct flowi6 fl6' was missing
initialization.

Fixes: 6c8702c60b88 ("ipv6: sr: add support for SRH encapsulation and injection 
with lwtunnels")

Suggeting this fix, spotted during code review while experimenting
with SRv6, although havn't encountered a specific issue during
experiments.

Was there any genuine intention to actually keep 'fl6' uninitialized?
