    ipv6: do not use RT_TOS for IPv6 flowlabel · ab7e2e0d

    According to Guillaume Nault RT_TOS should never be used for IPv6.
    
    Quote:
    RT_TOS() is an old macro used to interprete IPv4 TOS as described in
    the obsolete RFC 1349. It's conceptually wrong to use it even in IPv4
    code, although, given the current state of the code, most of the
    existing calls have no consequence.
    
    But using RT_TOS() in IPv6 code is always a bug: IPv6 never had a "TOS"
    field to be interpreted the RFC 1349 way. There's no historical
    compatibility to worry about.
    
    Fixes: 571912c6 ("net: UDP tunnel encapsulation module for tunnelling different protocols like MPLS, IP, NSH etc.")
