Hannes Frederic Sowa afc154e978 ipv6: fix route selection if kernel is not compiled with CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF 
This is a follow-up patch to 3630d40067
("ipv6: rt6_check_neigh should successfully verify neigh if no NUD
information are available").

Since the removal of rt->n in rt6_info we can end up with a dst ==
NULL in rt6_check_neigh. In case the kernel is not compiled with
CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF we should also select a route with unkown
NUD state but we must not avoid doing round robin selection on routes
with the same target. So introduce and pass down a boolean ``do_rr'' to
indicate when we should update rt->rr_ptr. As soon as no route is valid
we do backtracking and do a lookup on a higher level in the fib trie.

v2:
a) Improved rt6_check_neigh logic (no need to create neighbour there)
   and documented return values.

v3:
a) Introduce enum rt6_nud_state to get rid of the magic numbers
   (thanks to David Miller).
b) Update and shorten commit message a bit to actualy reflect
   the source.
