When an ICMP Redirect Message is matched to a socket, both IPv4 and IPv6
verify that the source IP of the ICMP packet is the current gateway for
the quoted packet. Both also pass the socket's bound device as the
expected nexthop device.
The difference is that IPv4 treats "oif=0" as "any", whereas IPv6 always
requires an exact match (see ip6_redirect_nh_match()), since the gateway
address is usually a link-local address.
Therefore, when an IPv6 UDP/RAW socket is not bound to a device, the
above verification fails and an exception is not created. This also
happens when the socket is bound to a VRF, as l3mdev_update_flow()
resets the oif to 0.
Fix this by passing the ifindex of the ingress device as the expected
nexthop device. This is consistent with the existing callers of
ip6_redirect(). Note that for ICMPv6 Redirect Message packets the VRF
driver does not reset skb->dev to the VRF device, so skb->dev is
correct, even when it is a VRF port.
