net: icmp6: do not select saddr from iif when route has prefsrc set



Since commit fac6fce9 ("net: icmp6: provide input address for
traceroute6") ICMPv6 errors have source addresses from the ingress
interface. However, this overrides when source address selection is
influenced by setting preferred source addresses on routes.

This can result in ICMP errors being lost to upstream BCP38 filters
when the wrong source addresses are used, breaking path MTU discovery
and traceroute.

This patch sets the modified source address selection to only take place
when the route used has no prefsrc set.

It can be tested with:

ip link add v1 type veth peer name v2
ip netns add test
ip netns exec test ip link set lo up
ip link set v2 netns test
ip link set v1 up
ip netns exec test ip link set v2 up
ip addr add 2001:db8::1/64 dev v1 nodad
ip addr add 2001:db8::3 dev v1 nodad
ip netns exec test ip addr add 2001:db8::2/64 dev v2 nodad
ip netns exec test ip route add unreachable 2001:db8:1::1
ip netns exec test ip addr add 2001:db8:100::1 dev lo
ip netns exec test ip route add 2001:db8::1 dev v2 src 2001:db8:100::1
ip route add 2001:db8:1000::1 via 2001:db8::2
traceroute6 -s 2001:db8::1 2001:db8:1000::1
traceroute6 -s 2001:db8::3 2001:db8:1000::1
ip netns delete test
