net/ipv6: Fix the RT cache flush via sysctl using a previous delay
[ Upstream commit 14a20e5b ] The net.ipv6.route.flush system parameter takes a value which specifies a delay used during the flush operation for aging exception routes. The written value is however not used in the currently requested flush and instead utilized only in the next one. A problem is that ipv6_sysctl_rtcache_flush() first reads the old value of net->ipv6.sysctl.flush_delay into a local delay variable and then calls proc_dointvec() which actually updates the sysctl based on the provided input. Fix the problem by switching the order of the two operations. Fixes: 4990509f ("[NETNS][IPV6]: Make sysctls route per namespace.")
