CVE-2023-53477

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipv6: Add lwtunnel encap size of all siblings in nexthop calculation

In function rt6_nlmsg_size(), the length of nexthop is calculated
by multipling the nexthop length of fib6_info and the number of
siblings. However if the fib6_info has no lwtunnel but the siblings
have lwtunnels, the nexthop length is less than it should be, and
it will trigger a warning in inet6_rt_notify() as follows:

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 6082 at net/ipv6/route.c:6180 inet6_rt_notify+0x120/0x130

This bug can be reproduced by script:

ip -6 addr add 2002::2/64 dev ens2
ip -6 route add 100::/64 via 2002::1 dev ens2 metric 100

for i in 10 20 30 40 50 60 70;
do
	ip link add link ens2 name ipv_$i type ipvlan
	ip -6 addr add 2002::$i/64 dev ipv_$i
	ifconfig ipv_$i up
done

for i in 10 20 30 40 50 60;
do
	ip -6 route append 100::/64 encap ip6 dst 2002::$i via 2002::1
dev ipv_$i metric 100
done

ip -6 route append 100::/64 via 2002::1 dev ipv_70 metric 100

This patch fixes it by adding nexthop_len of every siblings using
rt6_nh_nlmsg_size().
