selftest: Fixes for icmp_redirect test
I was really surprised that the IPv6 mtu exception followed by redirect test was passing as nothing about the code suggests it should. The problem is actually with the logic in the test script. Fix the test cases as follows: 1. add debug function to dump the initial and redirect gateway addresses for ipv6. This is shown only in verbose mode. It helps verify the output of 'route get'. 2. fix the check_exception logic for the reset case to make sure that for IPv4 neither mtu nor redirect appears in the 'route get' output. For IPv6, make sure mtu is not present and the gateway is the initial R1 lladdr. 3. fix the reset logic by using a function to delete the routes added by initial_route_*. This format works better for the nexthop version of the tests. While improving the test cases, go ahead and ensure that forwarding is disabled since IPv6 redirect requires it. Also, runs with kernel debugging enabled sometimes show a failure with one of the ipv4 tests, so spread the pings over longer time interval. The end result is that 2 tests now show failures: TEST: IPv6: mtu exception plus redirect [FAIL] and the VRF version. This is a bug in the IPv6 logic that will need to be fixed separately. Redirect followed by MTU works because __ip6_rt_update_pmtu hits the 'if (!rt6_cache_allowed_for_pmtu(rt6))' path and updates the mtu on the exception rt6_info. MTU followed by redirect does not have this logic. rt6_do_redirect creates a new exception and then rt6_insert_exception removes the old one which has the MTU exception.
