Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: ipv6: add NLM_F_APPEND in notifications when applicable

IPv6 does not set the NLM_F_APPEND flag in notifications to signal that
a NEWROUTE is an append versus a new route or a replaced one. Add the
flag if the request has it.

sending this one outside of the multipath patch set since it has
nothing to do with multipath.
