Brian reported a crash in IPv6 code when using rpfilter with a setup
running FRR and external nexthop objects. The root cause of the crash
is fib6_select_path setting fib6_nh in the result to NULL because of
an improper check for nexthop objects.
More specifically, rpfilter invokes ip6_route_lookup with flowi6_oif
set causing fib6_select_path to be called with have_oif_match set.
fib6_select_path has early check on have_oif_match and jumps to the
out label which presumes a builtin fib6_nh. This path is invalid for
nexthop objects; for external nexthops fib6_select_path needs to just
return if the fib6_nh has already been set in the result otherwise it
returns after the call to nexthop_path_fib6_result. Update the check
on have_oif_match to not bail on external nexthops.
Update selftests for this problem.

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.
