Subject: net: ipv6: RTF_PCPU should not be settable from userspace

[ Upstream commit 557c44be917c322860665be3d28376afa84aa936 ]
Andrey reported a fault in the IPv6 route code:

Andrey's syzkaller program passes rtmsg.rtmsg_flags with the RTF_PCPU bit
set. Flags passed to the kernel are blindly copied to the allocated
rt6_info by ip6_route_info_create making a newly inserted route appear
as though it is a per-cpu route. ip6_rt_cache_alloc sees the flag set
and expects rt->dst.from to be set - which it is not since it is not
really a per-cpu copy. The subsequent call to __ip6_dst_alloc then
generates the fault.
Fix by checking for the flag and failing with EINVAL.
