The call to call_fib6_multipath_entry_notifiers in
ip6_route_multipath_add happens without rt_notif set because the MPATH
spec is empty? It seems like that check should be done in
ip6_route_multipath_add rather than call_fib6_multipath_entry_notifiers
with an extack saying the reason for the failure.

My expectation for call_fib6_multipath_entry_notifiers is any errors are
only for offload handlers. (And we need to get extack added to that for
relaying reasons.)
