Subject: fib_trie: leaf_walk_rcu should not compute key if key is less than pn->key

From: Alexander Duyck <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit c2229fe1430d4e1c70e36520229dd64a87802b20 ]

We were computing the child index in cases where the key value we were looking for was actually less than the base key of the tnode. As a result we were getting incorrect index values that would cause us to skip over some children.

To fix this I have added a test that will force us to use child index 0 if the key we are looking for is less than the key of the current tnode.

Fixes 8be33e955cb9 ("fib_trie: Fib walk rcu should take a tnode and key instead of a trie and a leaf")
