Subject[PATCHv1] ipv6: Fix RTM_GETROUTE's interpretation of RTA_IIF to be consistent with ipv4
In IPv4, if an RTA_IIF attribute is specified within an RTM_GETROUTE
message, then a route is searched as if a packet was received on the
specified 'iif' interface.

However in IPv6, RTA_IIF is not interpreted in the same way:
'inet6_rtm_getroute()' always calls 'ip6_route_output()', regardless the
RTA_IIF attribute.

As a result, in IPv6 there's no way to use RTM_GETROUTE in order to look
for a route as if a packet was received on a specific interface.

Fix 'inet6_rtm_getroute()' so that RTA_IIF is interpreted as "lookup a
route as if a packet was received on the specified interface", similar
to IPv4's 'inet_rtm_getroute()' interpretation.

Tested on v3.2.6. Patch applies to v3.3.

Few points to review:

1) An alternative: construction of an skb within 'inet6_rtm_getroute()'
and then calling 'ip6_route_input()' with the skb as an argument.
Thus, no need to split common code of 'ip6_route_input()'.
Less elegant IMO.

2) Better name for the new common function 'ip6_route_input_lookup()'
Will happily accept any better suggestions.

3) In IPv4 the 'ip_route_input()' call within 'inet_rtm_getroute()'is
protected by a 'local_bh_disable()' since dawn of history.
Not sure if similar protection needed within 'inet6_rtm_getroute()'.
