Donald Sharp 7bdf4de126 net: Properly update v4 routes with v6 nexthop
When creating a v4 route that uses a v6 nexthop from a nexthop group.
Allow the kernel to properly send the nexthop as v6 via the RTA_VIA
attribute.

Broken behavior:

$ ip nexthop add via fe80::9 dev eth0
$ ip nexthop show
id 1 via fe80::9 dev eth0 scope link
$ ip route add 4.5.6.7/32 nhid 1
$ ip route show
default via 10.0.2.2 dev eth0
4.5.6.7 nhid 1 via 254.128.0.0 dev eth0
10.0.2.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.2.15
$

Fixed behavior:

$ ip nexthop add via fe80::9 dev eth0
$ ip nexthop show
id 1 via fe80::9 dev eth0 scope link
$ ip route add 4.5.6.7/32 nhid 1
$ ip route show
default via 10.0.2.2 dev eth0
4.5.6.7 nhid 1 via inet6 fe80::9 dev eth0
10.0.2.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.2.15
$

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.
