seg6_lookup_any_nexthop() is called by the different endpoint behaviors (e.g., End, End.X) to resolve an IPv6 route. Extend the function with an output interface argument so that it could be used to resolve a route with a certain output interface. This will be used by subsequent patches that will extend the End.X behavior with an output interface as an optional argument. ip6_route_input_lookup() cannot be used when an output interface is specified as it ignores this parameter. Similarly, calling ip6_pol_route() when a table ID was not specified (e.g., End.X behavior) is wrong. Therefore, when an output interface is specified without a table ID, resolve the route using ip6_route_output() which will take the output interface into account. Note that no endpoint behavior currently passes both a table ID and an output interface, so the oif argument passed to ip6_pol_route() is always zero and there are no functional changes in this regard.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
