    net/ipv6: Revert attempt to simplify route replace and append · 33bd5ac5
    David Ahern authored
    NetworkManager likes to manage linklocal prefix routes and does so with
    the NLM_F_APPEND flag, breaking attempts to simplify the IPv6 route
    code and by extension enable multipath routes with device only nexthops.
    
    Revert f34436a4 and these followup patches:
    6eba08c3 ("ipv6: Only emit append events for appended routes").
    ce45bded ("mlxsw: spectrum_router: Align with new route replace logic")
    53b562df ("mlxsw: spectrum_router: Allow appending to dev-only routes")
    
    Update the fib_tests cases to reflect the old behavior.
    
    Fixes: f34436a4 ("net/ipv6: Simplify route replace and appending into multipath route")
