net-ipv6: on device mtu change do not add mtu to mtu-less routes

Routes can specify an mtu explicitly or inherit the mtu from
the underlying device - this inheritance is implemented in
dst->ops->mtu handlers ip6_mtu() and ip6_blackhole_mtu().

Currently changing the mtu of a device adds mtu explicitly
to routes using that device.

ie.
  # ip link set dev lo mtu 65536
  # ip -6 route add local 2000::1 dev lo
  # ip -6 route get 2000::1
  local 2000::1 dev lo  table local  src ...  metric 1024  pref medium

  # ip link set dev lo mtu 65535
  # ip -6 route get 2000::1
  local 2000::1 dev lo  table local  src ...  metric 1024  mtu 65535 pref medium

  # ip link set dev lo mtu 65536
  # ip -6 route get 2000::1
  local 2000::1 dev lo  table local  src ...  metric 1024  mtu 65536 pref medium

  # ip -6 route del local 2000::1

After this patch the route entry no longer changes unless it already has an mtu.
There is no need: this inheritance is already done in ip6_mtu()

  # ip link set dev lo mtu 65536
  # ip -6 route add local 2000::1 dev lo
  # ip -6 route add local 2000::2 dev lo mtu 2000
  # ip -6 route get 2000::1; ip -6 route get 2000::2
  local 2000::1 dev lo  table local  src ...  metric 1024  pref medium
  local 2000::2 dev lo  table local  src ...  metric 1024  mtu 2000 pref medium

  # ip link set dev lo mtu 65535
  # ip -6 route get 2000::1; ip -6 route get 2000::2
  local 2000::1 dev lo  table local  src ...  metric 1024  pref medium
  local 2000::2 dev lo  table local  src ...  metric 1024  mtu 2000 pref medium

  # ip link set dev lo mtu 1501
  # ip -6 route get 2000::1; ip -6 route get 2000::2
  local 2000::1 dev lo  table local  src ...  metric 1024  pref medium
  local 2000::2 dev lo  table local  src ...  metric 1024  mtu 1501 pref medium

  # ip link set dev lo mtu 65536
  # ip -6 route get 2000::1; ip -6 route get 2000::2
  local 2000::1 dev lo  table local  src ...  metric 1024  pref medium
  local 2000::2 dev lo  table local  src ...  metric 1024  mtu 65536 pref medium

  # ip -6 route del local 2000::1
  # ip -6 route del local 2000::2

This is desirable because changing device mtu and then resetting it
to the previous value shouldn't change the user visible routing table.
