This is semantically different from the referenced ipv4 change.
Lack of a matching table for cfg->fc_table does not result in a
failure on the ipv4 side. It falls back in that case.
But here in this ipv6 patch, you do fail if fib6_get_table() gives
NULL.
Unintentional. I meant for this to behave exactly like the ipv4 change.
One thing that drives me absolutely crazy is all of the subtle
semantic differences between our ipv4 and ipv6 stack, so I refuse to
knowingly add new such cases.
I feel that pain on a daily basis.
Therefore, please make the ipv6 behavior match exactly what ipv4
does.
Will remove the goto out on the table lookup fail and have it fallback
to current logic. Thanks for catching that difference.
