[PATCH RFC 1/2] ipv6: Fix after pmtu events dissapearing host routes

[Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com>]

We currently don't clone host routes before we use them.
If a pmtu event is received on such a route, it gets
an expires value. As soon as the expiration time is
elapsed, the route is deleted. As a result, the host
is not reachable any more.

We fix this by cloning host routes if they are gatewayed,
i.e. if pmtu events can happen.
