Make the decision to set or clean the expires of a route based on the RTF_EXPIRES flag, rather than the value of the "expires" argument. This patch doesn't make difference logically, but make inet6_addr_modify() and modify_prefix_route() consistent. The function inet6_addr_modify() is the only caller of modify_prefix_route(), and it passes the RTF_EXPIRES flag and an expiration value. The RTF_EXPIRES flag is turned on or off based on the value of valid_lft. The RTF_EXPIRES flag is turned on if valid_lft is a finite value (not infinite, not 0xffffffff). Even if valid_lft is 0, the RTF_EXPIRES flag remains on. The expiration value being passed is equal to the valid_lft value if the flag is on. However, if the valid_lft value is infinite, the expiration value becomes 0 and the RTF_EXPIRES flag is turned off. Despite this, modify_prefix_route() decides to set the expiration value if the received expiration value is not zero. This mixing of infinite and zero cases creates an inconsistency.

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 Restructured Text 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.
