[PATCH 3.2 006/149] ipv6: don't stop backtracking infib6_lookup_1 if subtree does not match

[Ben Hutchings]

3.2.52-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 3e3be275851bc6fc90bfdcd732cd95563acd982b ]

In case a subtree did not match we currently stop backtracking and return
NULL (root table from fib_lookup). This could yield in invalid routing
table lookups when using subtrees.

Instead continue to backtrack until a valid subtree or node is found
and return this match.

Also remove unneeded NULL check.
