ipv6: make ip6_create_rt_rcu return ip6_null_entry instead of NULL

Jianlin reported a crash:

  [  381.484332] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000068

  [  382.166097]  ipv6_rcv+0x378/0x4e0

It was caused by the lookup function __ip6_route_redirect() returns NULL in
fib6_rule_lookup() when ip6_create_rt_rcu() returns NULL.

So we fix it by simply making ip6_create_rt_rcu() return ip6_null_entry
instead of NULL.

v1->v2:
  - move down 'fallback:' to make it more readable.
