ipv6: Default fib6_type to RTN_UNICAST when not set
A user reported that routes are getting installed with type 0 (RTN_UNSPEC) where before the routes were RTN_UNICAST. One example is from accel-ppp which apparently still uses the ioctl interface and does not set rtmsg_type. Another is the netlink interface where ipv6 does not require rtm_type to be set (v4 does). Prior to the commit in the Fixes tag the ipv6 stack converted type 0 to RTN_UNICAST, so restore that behavior.
