ipv6: prepare fib6_locate() for exception table
fib6_locate() is used to find the fib6_node according to the passed in prefix address key. It currently tries to find the fib6_node with the exact match of the passed in key. However, when we move cached routes into the exception table, fib6_locate() will fail to find the fib6_node for it as the cached routes will be stored in the exception table under the fib6_node with the longest prefix match of the cache's dst addr key. This commit adds a new parameter to let the caller specify if it needs exact match or longest prefix match. Right now, all callers still does exact match when calling fib6_locate(). It will be changed in later commit where exception table is hooked up to store cached routes.
