netfilter: ipv6: propagate routing errors from ip6_route_me_harder()


Propagate routing errors from ip_route_me_harder() when dropping a packet
using NF_DROP_ERR(). This makes userspace get the proper error instead of
EPERM for everything.

# ip -6 r a unreachable default table 100
# ip -6 ru add fwmark 0x1 lookup 100
# ip6tables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -d 2001:4860:4860::8888 -j MARK --set-mark 0x1

Old behaviour:

PING 2001:4860:4860::8888(2001:4860:4860::8888) 56 data bytes
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted

New behaviour:

PING 2001:4860:4860::8888(2001:4860:4860::8888) 56 data bytes
ping: sendmsg: Network is unreachable
ping: sendmsg: Network is unreachable
ping: sendmsg: Network is unreachable
