kernel: Fix kernel regression in local-broadcast routes

Backport a patch from upstream kernel 6.17-rc4 which fixes a regression
introduced in the latest stable kernel versions.

This is already in the Linus stable queues for the next minor kernel
updates.

Fixes: 1c92e468d5 ("kernel: bump 6.6 to 6.6.103")
Fixes: f39c7e103f ("kernel: bump 6.12 to 6.12.43")

Subject: [PATCH] net: ipv4: fix regression in local-broadcast routes
Commit 9e30ecf23b1b ("net: ipv4: fix incorrect MTU in broadcast routes")
introduced a regression where local-broadcast packets would have their
gateway set in __mkroute_output, which was caused by fi = NULL being
removed.
Fix this by resetting the fib_info for local-broadcast packets. This
preserves the intended changes for directed-broadcast packets.
