1 review trailer.

If the user hasn't installed any custom rules, don't go through the
whole FIB rules layer. This is pretty similar to f4530fa574df (ipv4:
Avoid overhead when no custom FIB rules are installed).

Using a micro-benchmark module [1], timing ip6_route_output() with
get_cycles(), with 40,000 routes in the main routing table, before this
patch:

At the frequency of the host during the bench (~ 3.7 GHz), this is
about a 100 ns difference on the median value.

A next step would be to collapse local and main tables, as in
0ddcf43d5d4a (ipv4: FIB Local/MAIN table collapse).
