3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Kalash Nainwal <kalash@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 97f0082a0592212fc15d4680f5a4d80f79a1687c ]
Set rtm_table to RT_TABLE_COMPAT for ipv6 for tables > 255 to
keep legacy software happy. This is similar to what was done for
ipv4 in commit 709772e6e065 ("net: Fix routing tables with
id > 255 for legacy software").
