net: reevalulate autoflowlabel setting after sysctl setting
sysctl.ip6.auto_flowlabels is default 1. In our hosts, we set it to 2. If sockopt doesn't set autoflowlabel, outcome packets from the hosts are supposed to not include flowlabel. This is true for normal packet, but not for reset packet. The reason is ipv6_pinfo.autoflowlabel is set in sock creation. Later if we change sysctl.ip6.auto_flowlabels, the ipv6_pinfo.autoflowlabel isn't changed, so the sock will keep the old behavior in terms of auto flowlabel. Reset packet is suffering from this problem, because reset packet is sent from a special control socket, which is created at boot time. Since sysctl.ipv6.auto_flowlabels is 1 by default, the control socket will always have its ipv6_pinfo.autoflowlabel set, even after user set sysctl.ipv6.auto_flowlabels to 1, so reset packset will always have flowlabel. Normal sock created before sysctl setting suffers from the same issue. We can't even turn off autoflowlabel unless we kill all socks in the hosts. To fix this, if IPV6_AUTOFLOWLABEL sockopt is used, we use the autoflowlabel setting from user, otherwise we always call ip6_default_np_autolabel() which has the new settings of sysctl. Note, this changes behavior a little bit. Before commit 42240901f7c4 (ipv6: Implement different admin modes for automatic flow labels), the autoflowlabel behavior of a sock isn't sticky, eg, if sysctl changes, existing connection will change autoflowlabel behavior. After that commit, autoflowlabel behavior is sticky in the whole life of the sock. With this patch, the behavior isn't sticky again.
