ipv6: Fix potential uninit-value access in __ip6_make_skb()

commit 4e13d3a9c25b7080f8a619f961e943fe08c2672c upstream.

As it was done in commit fc1092f51567 ("ipv4: Fix uninit-value access in
__ip_make_skb()") for IPv4, check FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NH on fl6->flowi6_flags
instead of testing HDRINCL on the socket to avoid a race condition which
causes uninit-value access.
