ipv6: reset dst.expires value when clearing expire flag
On receiving a packet too big icmp error we update the expire value by calling rt6_update_expires. This function uses dst_set_expires which is implemented that it can only reduce the expiration value of the dst entry. If we insert new routing non-expiry information into the ipv6 fib where we already have a matching rt6_info we only clear the RTF_EXPIRES flag in rt6i_flags and leave the dst.expires value as is. When new mtu information arrives for that cached dst_entry we again call dst_set_expires. This time it won't update the dst.expire value because we left the dst.expire value intact from the last update. So dst_set_expires won't touch dst.expires. Fix this by resetting dst.expires when clearing the RTF_EXPIRE flag. dst_set_expires checks for a zero expiration and updates the dst.expires. In the past this (not updating dst.expires) was necessary because dst.expire was placed in a union with the dst_entry *from reference and rt6_clean_expires did assign NULL to it. This split happend in ecd9883724b78cc72ed92c98bcb1a46c764fff21 ("ipv6: fix race condition regarding dst->expires and dst->from"). Reported-by: Steinar H.
