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

From: Aditya Pakki <pakki001@xxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit f0fb9b288d0a7e9cc324ae362e2dfd2cc2217ded ]
While flushing the cache via ipv6_sysctl_rtcache_flush(), the call
to proc_dointvec() may fail. The fix adds a check that returns the
error, on failure.
