Subject: [PATCH RFC 3/3] ipv6: Don't update pmtu on uncached routes.

A pmtu update on an uncached route will delete the
original route after expiration time is elapsed.
As a result, the host is not reachable any more.

All routes where pmtu discovery can happen are
cached now, so it is ok to refuse pmtu updates
on uncached routes.
