ipv6: fix src addr routing with the exception table
When inserting route cache into the exception table, the key is generated with both src_addr and dest_addr with src addr routing. However, current logic always assumes the src_addr used to generate the key is a /128 host address. This is not true in the following scenarios: 1. When the route is a gateway route or does not have next hop. (rt6_is_gw_or_nonexthop() == false) 2. When calling ip6_rt_cache_alloc(), saddr is passed in as NULL. This means, when looking for a route cache in the exception table, we have to do the lookup twice: first time with the passed in /128 host address, second time with the src_addr stored in fib6_info. This solves the pmtu discovery issue reported by Mikael Magnusson where a route cache with a lower mtu info is created for a gateway route with src addr. However, the lookup code is not able to find this route cache.
