Maciej Żenczykowski 9354e0acdb net: ipv6: support reporting otherwise unknown prefix flags in RTM_NEWPREFIX
[ Upstream commit bd4a816752bab609dd6d65ae021387beb9e2ddbd ]

Lorenzo points out that we effectively clear all unknown
flags from PIO when copying them to userspace in the netlink
RTM_NEWPREFIX notification.

We could fix this one at a time as new flags are defined,
or in one fell swoop - I choose the latter.

We could either define 6 new reserved flags (reserved1..6) and handle
them individually (and rename them as new flags are defined), or we
could simply copy the entire unmodified byte over - I choose the latter.

This unfortunately requires some anonymous union/struct magic,
so we add a static assert on the struct size for a little extra safety.
