[PATCH] ipv6: Use memset_after() to zero rt6_info
From: Kees Cook
Date: Thu Nov 18 2021 - 15:32:46 EST
In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time
field bounds checking for memset(), avoid intentionally writing across
neighboring fields.
Use memset_after() to clear everything after the dst_entry member of
struct rt6_info.
