While creating a new IPv6, we could get a weird -ENOMEM when
RTA_NH_ID is set and either of the conditions below is true:
1) CONFIG_IPV6_SUBTREES is enabled and rtm_src_len is specified
2) nexthop_get() fails
e.g.)
# strace ip -6 route add fe80::dead:beef:dead:beef nhid 1 from ::
recvmsg(3, {msg_iov=[{iov_base=[...[
{error=-ENOMEM, msg=[... [...]]},
[{nla_len=49, nla_type=NLMSGERR_ATTR_MSG}, "Nexthops can not be used with so"...]
]], iov_len=32768}], msg_iovlen=1, msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 148
Let's set err explicitly after ip_fib_metrics_init() in
ip6_route_info_create().
Fixes: f88d8ea67f ("ipv6: Plumb support for nexthop object in a fib6_info")
