ipv6: Don't use dst gateway directly in ip6_confirm_neigh()
This is the equivalent of commit 2c6b55f45d
("ipv6: fix neighbour
resolution with raw socket") for ip6_confirm_neigh(): we can send a
packet with MSG_CONFIRM on a raw socket for a connected route, so the
gateway would be :: here, and we should pick the next hop using
rt6_nexthop() instead.
This was found by code review and, to the best of my knowledge, doesn't
actually fix a practical issue: the destination address from the packet
is not considered while confirming a neighbour, as ip6_confirm_neigh()
calls choose_neigh_daddr() without passing the packet, so there are no
similar issues as the one fixed by said commit.
A possible source of issues with the existing implementation might come
from the fact that, if we have a cached dst, we won't consider it,
while rt6_nexthop() takes care of that. I might just not be creative
enough to find a practical problem here: the only way to affect this
with cached routes is to have one coming from an ICMPv6 redirect, but
if the next hop is a directly connected host, there should be no
topology for which a redirect applies here, and tests with redirected
routes show no differences for MSG_CONFIRM (and MSG_PROBE) packets on
raw sockets destined to a directly connected host.
However, directly using the dst gateway here is not consistent anymore
with neighbour resolution, and, in general, as we want the next hop,
using rt6_nexthop() looks like the only sane way to fetch it.
