My understanding is that when the route uses a nexthop object (i.e.,
rt->nh is not NULL), then rt->fib6_nh is invalid. So I think we need the
check for now. Maybe it can be removed once the function learns to use
nexthop_fib6_nh() for routes with a nexthop object, but that's another
patch. Let's finish with the current problem first.
