ipv6: remove max_size check inline with ipv4

In ip6_dst_gc() replace:

  if (entries > gc_thresh)

With:

  if (entries > ops->gc_thresh)

Sending Ipv6 packets in a loop via a raw socket triggers an issue where a
route is cloned by ip6_rt_cache_alloc() for each packet sent. This quickly
consumes the Ipv6 max_size threshold which defaults to 4096 resulting in
these warnings:

[1]   99.187805] dst_alloc: 7728 callbacks suppressed
[2] Route cache is full: consider increasing sysctl net.ipv6.route.max_size.
.
.
[300] Route cache is full: consider increasing sysctl net.ipv6.route.max_size.

When this happens the packet is dropped and sendto() gets a network is
unreachable error:

remaining pkt 200557 errno 101
remaining pkt 196462 errno 101
.
.
remaining pkt 126821 errno 101

Implement David Aherns suggestion to remove max_size check seeing that Ipv6
has a GC to manage memory usage. Ipv4 already does not check max_size.

Here are some memory comparisons for Ipv4 vs Ipv6 with the patch:

Test by running 5 instances of a program that sends UDP packets to a raw
socket 5000000 times. Compare Ipv4 and Ipv6 performance with a similar
program.
