ipv4: Allow ipv6 gateway with ipv4 routes
Add support for RTA_VIA and allow an IPv6 nexthop for v4 routes: $ ip ro add 172.16.1.0/24 via inet6 2001:db8::1 dev eth0 $ ip ro ls ... 172.16.1.0/24 via inet6 2001:db8::1 dev eth0 For convenience and simplicity, userspace can use RTA_VIA to specify AF_INET or AF_INET6 gateway. The common fib_nexthop_info dump function compares the gateway address family to the nh_common family to know if the gateway should be encoded as RTA_VIA or RTA_GATEWAY.
