ipv6: fib6_rules should return exact return value
With the addition of the suppress operation (7764a45a ("fib_rules: add .suppress operation") we rely on accurate error reporting of the fib_rules.actions. fib6_rule_action always returned -EAGAIN in case we could not find a matching route and 0 if a rule was matched. This also included a match for blackhole or prohibited rule actions which could get suppressed by the new logic. So adapt fib6_rule_action to always return the correct error code as its counterpart fib4_rule_action does. This also fixes a possiblity of nullptr-deref where we don't find a table, thus rt == NULL. Because the condition rt != ip6_null_entry still holdes it seems we could later get a nullptr bug on dereference rt->dst. v2: a) Fixed a brain fart in the commit msg (the rule => a table, etc). No changes to the patch.
