We always send flowinfo to the kernel. If flowlabel/tclass was set first to non-inherit value and then reset to inherit we do not clear flowlabel/tclass part in flowinfo, send it to kernel and can get from the kernel back.
Even if we check for IP6_TNL_F_USE_ORIG_TCLASS and IP6_TNL_F_USE_ORIG_FLOWLABEL when printing options sending invalid flowlabel/tclass to the kernel seems bad idea. Note that ip6tnl always clean corresponding flowinfo parts on inherit.
