Title:
  the kernel is blackholing IPv6 packets to linkdown nexthops

Bug description:
  When the 'ignore_routes_with_linkdown' sysctl is set, we should not
  consider linkdown nexthops during route lookup.

  While the code correctly verifies that the initially selected route
  ('match') has a carrier, it does not perform the same check in the
  subsequent multipath selection, resulting in a potential packet loss.

  In case the chosen route does not have a carrier and the sysctl is set,
  choose the initially selected route.

  Fixed in the upstream kernel with patch:

  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=bbfcd77631573ac4a9f57eb6169e04256a111bc1

  I think this patch must be backported to stable kernel in Xenial. I
  tested in patching the Ubuntu Xenial 4.4.0-21-generic and it works for
  me.
