[PATCH 3/3 Rev4] Initialize and fill IPv6 route age

[Varun Chandramohan <varunc@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

The age field of the ipv6 route structures are initilized with the current timeval at the time of route
creation. When the route dump is called the route age value stored in the structure is subtracted from the
present timeval and the difference is passed on as the route age.
