net: Fix the arp error in some cases

ie.,
$ ifconfig eth0 6.6.6.6 netmask 255.255.255.0

$ ip rule add from 6.6.6.6 table 6666

$ ip route add 9.9.9.9 via 6.6.6.6

$ ping -I 6.6.6.6 9.9.9.9
PING 9.9.9.9 (9.9.9.9) from 6.6.6.6 : 56(84) bytes of data.

3 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 2079ms

$ arp
Address     HWtype  HWaddress           Flags Mask            Iface
6.6.6.6             (incomplete)                              eth0

The arp request address is error, this is because fib_table_lookup in
fib_check_nh lookup the destnation 9.9.9.9 nexthop, the scope of
the fib result is RT_SCOPE_LINK,the correct scope is RT_SCOPE_HOST.
Here I add a check of whether this is RT_TABLE_MAIN to solve this problem.
