[PATCH net-next v5 02/10] ipv6: propagate the route deletion reason to fib6_del_route()

Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.linux-kselftest,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel,org.kernel.vger.netdev
Message-ID <[email protected]>
Pass the deletion reason from ip6_del_rt_reason() down through
__ip6_del_rt(), fib6_del() and into fib6_del_route(). All existing
callers pass RT_DEL_REASON_UNSPEC.

fib6_del_route() ignores the reason until the notification path learns
to report it.
