[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 082/110] ipv6: do not delete previously existing ECMP routes if add fails

[Luis Henriques]

3.16.7-ckt13 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: =?UTF-8?q?Michal=20Kube=C4=8Dek?= <mkubecek@xxxxxxx>

commit 35f1b4e96b9258a3668872b1139c51e5a23eb876 upstream.

If adding a nexthop of an IPv6 multipath route fails, comment in
ip6_route_multipath() says we are going to delete all nexthops already
added. However, current implementation deletes even the routes it
hasn't even tried to add yet. For example, running

  ip route add 1234:5678::/64 \
      nexthop via fe80::aa dev dummy1 \
      nexthop via fe80::bb dev dummy1 \
      nexthop via fe80::cc dev dummy1

twice results in removing all routes first command added.

Limit the second (delete) run to nexthops that succeeded in the first
(add) run.
