Subject: [PATCH net] ipv6: don't stop backtracking in fib6_lookup_1 if subtree does not match

In case a subtree did not match we currently stop backtracking and return
NULL (root table from fib_lookup). This could yield in invalid routing
table lookups when using subtrees.

Instead continue to backtrack until a valid subtree or node is found
and return this match.

Also remove unneeded NULL check.
