Our stack trace from the syzbot reproducer looks as follows: __ip6_del_rt_siblings rtnl_notify (Here we pass gfp_any() -> GFP_KERNEL) nlmsg_notify nlmsg_multicast nlmsg_multicast_filtered netlink_broadcast_filtered (GFP_KERNEL passed from earlier) netlink_broadcast_filtered can yield if GFP_KERNEL is passed, which we do not want to happen. Fix this by changing the allocation flag of rtnl_notify. Also change the flag passed to nlmsg_new. Even though it is not related to the syzbot generated bug it still falls under the same requirements.
