ipv6: Stop /128 route from disappearing after pmtu update



This patch is mostly from Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com>.
I only removed the (rt6->rt6i_dst.plen == 128) check from
ip6_rt_update_pmtu() because the (rt6->rt6i_flags & RTF_CACHE) test
has already implied it.

This patch:
1. Create RTF_CACHE route for /128 non local route
2. After (1), all routes that allow pmtu update should have a RTF_CACHE
   clone.  Hence, stop updating MTU for any non RTF_CACHE route.
