Subject: [PATCH net-next] ipv6: fix handling of throw routes

It's the same problem that previous fix about blackhole and prohibit routes.

When adding a throw route, it was handled like a classic route.
Moreover, it was only possible to add this kind of routes by specifying
an interface.

Before the patch:
  $ ip route add throw 2001::2/128
  RTNETLINK answers: No such device
  $ ip route add throw 2001::2/128 dev eth0
  $ ip -6 route | grep 2001::2
  2001::2 dev eth0  metric 1024

After:
  $ ip route add throw 2001::2/128
  $ ip -6 route | grep 2001::2
  throw 2001::2 dev lo  metric 1024  error -11
