Socket option NETLINK_GET_STRICT_CHK, quoting from commit 89d35528d17d
("netlink: Add new socket option to enable strict checking on dumps"),
is used to "request strict checking of headers and attributes on dump
requests".
If some attributes are set (including flags), setting this option causes
dump functions to filter results according to these attributes, via the
filter_set flag. However, if strict checking is requested, this should
imply that we also filter results based on flags that are *not* set.
This is currently not the case, at least for IPv6 FIB dumps: if the
RTM_F_CLONED flag is not set, and strict checking is required, we should
not return routes with the RTM_F_CLONED flag set.
Set the filter_set flag whenever strict checking is requested, limiting
the scope to IPv6 FIB dumps for the moment being, as other users of the
flag might not present this inconsistency.
Note that this partially duplicates the semantics of NLM_F_MATCH as
described by RFC 3549, par. 3.1.1. Instead of setting a filter based on
the size of the netlink message, properly support NLM_F_MATCH, by
setting a filter via ip_filter_fib_dump_req() and setting the filter_set
flag.
