Subject: [PATCH net] ipv6: no need to return rt->dst.error if it is not null entry.

After commit 18c3a61c4264 ("net: ipv6: RTM_GETROUTE: return matched fib
result when requested"). When we get a prohibit ertry, we will return
-EACCES directly.

Before:
+ ip netns exec client ip -6 route get 2003::1
prohibit 2003::1 dev lo table unspec proto kernel src 2001::1 metric
4294967295 error -13

After:
+ ip netns exec server ip -6 route get 2002::1
RTNETLINK answers: Network is unreachable

Since we will check the ip6_null_entry later. There is not sense
to check the dst.error after get rt.

Fixes: 18c3a61c4264 ("net: ipv6: RTM_GETROUTE: return matched fib...")
