Subject: [RFC PATCH net-next 08/10] ipv6: Do not use inetpeer when creating RTF_CACHE route for /128 via gateway entry

When there is a pmtu exception on /128 via gateway route, we need to
create a separate metrics copy for the newly created RTF_CACHE route instead
of reusing the inetpeer cache.  Otherwise, the original mtu will be
over-written and the mtu update will stay after the expiration.
