Subject: ipv6: Fix getsockopt() for sockets with default IPV6_AUTOFLOWLABEL

From: Ben Hutchings <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit e9191ffb65d8e159680ce0ad2224e1acbde6985c ]

Commit 513674b5a2c9 ("net: reevalulate autoflowlabel setting after sysctl setting") removed the initialisation of ipv6_pinfo::autoflowlabel and added a second flag to indicate whether this field or the net namespace default should be used.

The getsockopt() handling for this case was not updated, so it currently returns 0 for all sockets for which IPV6_AUTOFLOWLABEL is not explicitly enabled. Fix it to return the effective value, whether that has been set at the socket or net namespace level.
