net/ipv6: Allow onlink routes to have a device mismatch if it is the default route



The intent of ip6_route_check_nh_onlink is to make sure the gateway
given for an onlink route is not actually on a connected route for
a different interface (e.g., 2001:db8:1::/64 is on dev eth1 and then
an onlink route has a via 2001:db8:1::1 dev eth2). If the gateway
lookup hits the default route then it most likely will be a different
interface than the onlink route which is ok.

Update ip6_route_check_nh_onlink to disregard the device mismatch
if the gateway lookup hits the default route. Turns out the existing
onlink tests are passing because there is no default route or it is
an unreachable default, so update the onlink tests to have a default
route other than unreachable.
