When using an ip6tnl device in collect_md mode, the xmit methods ignore
the ipv6.src field present in skb_tunnel_info's key, both for route
calculation purposes (flowi6 construction) and for assigning the
packet's final ipv6h->saddr.
This makes it impossible specifying a desired ipv6 local address in the
encapsulating header (for example, when using tc action tunnel_key).
This is also not aligned with behavior of ipip (ipv4) in collect_md
mode, where the key->u.ipv4.src gets used.
Fix, by assigning fl6.saddr with given key->u.ipv6.src.
In case ipv6.src is not specified, ip6_tnl_xmit uses existing saddr
selection code.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
