ipv6: Consider RTF_CACHE when searching the fib6 tree

It is a prep work for the later bug-fix patch which will stop /128 route
from disappearing after pmtu update.

The later bug-fix patch will allow a /128 route and its RTF_CACHE clone
both exist at the same fib6_node.  To do this, we need to prepare the
existing fib6 tree search to expect RTF_CACHE for /128 route.

Note that the fn->leaf is sorted by rt6i_metric.  Hence,
RTF_CACHE (if there is any) is always at the front.  This property
leads to the following:

1. When doing ip6_route_del(), it should honor the RTF_CACHE flag which
   the caller is used to ask for deleting clone or non-clone.
   The rtm_to_fib6_config() should also check the RTM_F_CLONED and
   then set RTF_CACHE accordingly so that:
   - 'ip -6 r del...' will make ip6_route_del() to delete a route
     and all its clones. Note that its clones is flushed by fib6_del()
   - 'ip -6 r flush table cache' will make ip6_route_del() to
      only delete clone(s).

2. Exclude RTF_CACHE from addrconf_get_prefix_route() which
   should not configure on a cloned route.

3. No change is need for rt6_device_match() since it currently could
   return a RTF_CACHE clone route, so the later bug-fix patch will not
   affect it.
