ipv6: add key length check into rt6_select()

After rwlock is replaced with rcu and spinlock, fib6_lookup() could
potentially return an intermediate node if other thread is doing
fib6_del() on a route which is the only route on the node so that
fib6_repair_tree() will be called on this node and potentially assigns
fn->leaf to the its child's fn->leaf.

In order to detect this situation in rt6_select(), we have to check if
fn->fn_bit is consistent with the key length stored in the route. And
depending on if the fn is in the subtree or not, the key is either
rt->rt6i_dst or rt->rt6i_src.
If any inconsistency is found, that means the node no longer holds valid
routes in it. So net->ipv6.ip6_null_entry is returned.
