Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: Properly check reference count flag before taking reference

People are reporting that WireGuard experiences erratic crashes on 5.3,
and bisected it down to 7d30a7f6424e. Casually flipping through that
commit I noticed that a flag is checked using `|` instead of `&`, which in
this current case, means that a reference is never incremented, which
would result in the use-after-free users are seeing. This commit changes
the `|` to the proper `&` test.

Apparently even with this (certainly correct) patch attached, users
are still experiencing problems. Bug hunting continues, and I'll
report back if I figure something out.

NOTE: this change was added in d64a1f574a29 ("ipv6: honor RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF in rule lookup logic")

Kind regards,

This was fixed earlier I think
