Thomas reported a regression with IPv6 and anycast using the following
reproducer:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding
ip -6 a add fc12::1/16 dev lo
sleep 2
echo "pinging lo"
ping6 -c 2 fc12::
The conversion of addrconf_f6i_alloc to use ip6_route_info_create missed
the use of fib6_is_reject which checks addresses added to the loopback
interface and sets the REJECT flag as needed. Update fib6_is_reject for
loopback checks to handle RTF_ANYCAST addresses.
Fixes: c7a1ce397a ("ipv6: Change addrconf_f6i_alloc to use ip6_route_info_create")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
