    kernel: Fix kernel regression in local-broadcast routes
    
    Backport a patch from upstream kernel 6.17-rc4 which fixes a regression
    introduced in the latest stable kernel versions.
    
    This is already in the Linus stable queues for the next minor kernel
    updates.
    
    Fixes: 1c92e468d544 ("kernel: bump 6.6 to 6.6.103")
    Fixes: f39c7e103f9a ("kernel: bump 6.12 to 6.12.43")

+Subject: [PATCH] net: ipv4: fix regression in local-broadcast routes
+
+Commit 9e30ecf23b1b ("net: ipv4: fix incorrect MTU in broadcast routes")
+introduced a regression where local-broadcast packets would have their
+gateway set in __mkroute_output, which was caused by fi = NULL being
+removed.
+
+Fix this by resetting the fib_info for local-broadcast packets. This
+preserves the intended changes for directed-broadcast packets.
