Jiayuan Chen f81b0c2d28 netfilter: nft_fib_ipv6: handle routes via external nexthop
fib6_info has a union:

    union {
        struct list_head fib6_siblings;
        struct list_head nh_list;
    };

Old-style multipath (ip -6 route add ... nexthop ... nexthop ...) uses
fib6_siblings.  External nexthop (ip -6 route add ... nhid N) uses
nh_list, linked into &nh->f6i_list.

nft_fib6_info_nh_uses_dev() blindly walks &rt->fib6_siblings, causing
an OOB read past the struct nexthop slab when rt->nh is set:

Branch by route shape: when rt->nh is set, walk via
nexthop_for_each_fib6_nh() (also covers nh groups, which the original
code missed); otherwise walk fib6_siblings, guarded by READ_ONCE() of
rt->fib6_nsiblings as required by commit 31d7d67ba1 ("ipv6: annotate
data-races around rt->fib6_nsiblings").
