Vincent Bernat feca7d8c13 net: ipv6: avoid overhead when no custom FIB rules are installed
If the user hasn't installed any custom rules, don't go through the
whole FIB rules layer. This is pretty similar to f4530fa574 (ipv4:
Avoid overhead when no custom FIB rules are installed).

Using a micro-benchmark module [1], timing ip6_route_output() with
get_cycles(), with 40,000 routes in the main routing table, before this
patch:

At the frequency of the host during the bench (~ 3.7 GHz), this is
about a 100 ns difference on the median value.

A next step would be to collapse local and main tables, as in
0ddcf43d5d (ipv4: FIB Local/MAIN table collapse).
