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.
