Merge branch 'ipv6-Use-fib6_result-for-fib_lookups'

David Ahern says:

====================
ipv6: Use fib6_result for fib_lookups

Add fib6_result as a single data structure to hold results from a fib
lookup. IPv6 currently has everything in 1 data structure - a fib6_info,
but with nexthop objects the fib6_nh can be in a nexthop or a nexthop
can be a blackhole which affects the fib6_type and flags (REJECT).

v2
- fixed 2 bugs in patch12:
  i. checking return from fib6_table_lookup in fib6_lookup
  ii. call to fib6_rule_saddr in fib6_rule_action_alt should use res->nh
