Subject: [PATCHv4 net] ipv6: no need to check rt->dst.error when get route info

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

Fix it by remove the rt->dst.error check.

Before fix:
\# ip -6 route add prohibit 2003::/64 dev eth1
\# ip -6 route get fibmatch 2003::1
RTNETLINK answers: Permission denied
\# ip -6 route add unreachable 2004::/64 dev eth1
\# ip -6 route get fibmatch 2004::1
RTNETLINK answers: No route to host

After fix:
\# ip -6 route add prohibit 2003::/64 dev eth1
\# ip -6 route get fibmatch 2003::1
prohibit 2003::/64 dev lo metric 1024 error -13 pref medium
\# ip -6 route add unreachable 2004::/64 dev eth1
\# ip -6 route get fibmatch 2004::1
unreachable 2004::/64 dev lo metric 1024 error -113 pref medium
