ipv6: Add explicit flush indication to routes
When routes that are a part of a multipath route are evaluated by fib6_ifdown() in response to NETDEV_DOWN and NETDEV_UNREGISTER events the state of their sibling routes is not considered. This will change in subsequent patches in order to align IPv6 with IPv4's behavior. For example, when the last sibling in a multipath route becomes dead, the entire multipath route needs to be removed. To prevent the tree walker from re-evaluating all the sibling routes each time, we can simply evaluate them once - when the first sibling is traversed. If we determine the entire multipath route needs to be removed, then the 'should_flush' bit is set in all the siblings, which will cause the walker to flush them when it traverses them.
