net/ipv6: set expires in modify_prefix_route() if RTF_EXPIRES is set.
Make the decision to set or clean the expires of a route based on the RTF_EXPIRES flag, rather than the value of the "expires" argument. This patch doesn't make difference logically, but make inet6_addr_modify() and modify_prefix_route() consistent. The function inet6_addr_modify() is the only caller of modify_prefix_route(), and it passes the RTF_EXPIRES flag and an expiration value. The RTF_EXPIRES flag is turned on or off based on the value of valid_lft. The RTF_EXPIRES flag is turned on if valid_lft is a finite value (not infinite, not 0xffffffff). Even if valid_lft is 0, the RTF_EXPIRES flag remains on. The expiration value being passed is equal to the valid_lft value if the flag is on. However, if the valid_lft value is infinite, the expiration value becomes 0 and the RTF_EXPIRES flag is turned off. Despite this, modify_prefix_route() decides to set the expiration value if the received expiration value is not zero. This mixing of infinite and zero cases creates an inconsistency.
