Subject: ip6mr: fix mfc notification flags

From: Nicolas Dichtel <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit f518338b16038beeb73e155e60d0f70beb9379f4 ]

Commit 812e44dd1829 ("ip6mr: advertise new mfc entries via rtnl") reuses the
function ip6mr_fill_mroute() to notify mfc events.
But this function was used only for dump and thus was always setting the
flag NLM_F_MULTI, which is wrong in case of a single notification.

Libraries like libnl will wait forever for NLMSG_DONE.
