net: ipv6: Use passed in table for nexthop lookups



Similar to 3bfd8472 ("net: Use passed in table for nexthop lookups")
for IPv4, if the route spec contains a table id use that to lookup the
next hop first and fall back to a full lookup if it fails (per the fix
4c9bcd11 ("net: Fix nexthop lookups")).

Example:

    root@kenny:~# ip -6 ro ls table red
    local 2100:1::1 dev lo  proto none  metric 0  pref medium
    2100:1::/120 dev eth1  proto kernel  metric 256  pref medium
    local 2100:2::1 dev lo  proto none  metric 0  pref medium
    2100:2::/120 dev eth2  proto kernel  metric 256  pref medium
    local fe80::e0:f9ff:fe09:3cac dev lo  proto none  metric 0  pref medium
    local fe80::e0:f9ff:fe1c:b974 dev lo  proto none  metric 0  pref medium
    fe80::/64 dev eth1  proto kernel  metric 256  pref medium
    fe80::/64 dev eth2  proto kernel  metric 256  pref medium
    ff00::/8 dev red  metric 256  pref medium
    ff00::/8 dev eth1  metric 256  pref medium
    ff00::/8 dev eth2  metric 256  pref medium
    unreachable default dev lo  metric 240  error -113 pref medium

    root@kenny:~# ip -6 ro add table red 2100:3::/64 via 2100:1::64
    RTNETLINK answers: No route to host

Route add fails even though 2100:1::64 is a reachable next hop:
    root@kenny:~# ping6 -I red  2100:1::64
    ping6: Warning: source address might be selected on device other than red.
    PING 2100:1::64(2100:1::64) from 2100:1::1 red: 56 data bytes
    64 bytes from 2100:1::64: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.33 ms

With this patch:
    root@kenny:~# ip -6 ro add table red 2100:3::/64 via 2100:1::64
    root@kenny:~# ip -6 ro ls table red
    local 2100:1::1 dev lo  proto none  metric 0  pref medium
    2100:1::/120 dev eth1  proto kernel  metric 256  pref medium
    local 2100:2::1 dev lo  proto none  metric 0  pref medium
    2100:2::/120 dev eth2  proto kernel  metric 256  pref medium
    2100:3::/64 via 2100:1::64 dev eth1  metric 1024  pref medium
    local fe80::e0:f9ff:fe09:3cac dev lo  proto none  metric 0  pref medium
    local fe80::e0:f9ff:fe1c:b974 dev lo  proto none  metric 0  pref medium
    fe80::/64 dev eth1  proto kernel  metric 256  pref medium
    fe80::/64 dev eth2  proto kernel  metric 256  pref medium
    ff00::/8 dev red  metric 256  pref medium
    ff00::/8 dev eth1  metric 256  pref medium
    ff00::/8 dev eth2  metric 256  pref medium
    unreachable default dev lo  metric 240  error -113 pref medium
