Commit 8c14586fc320 ("net: ipv6: Use passed in table for nexthop
lookups") introduced a regression: insertion of an IPv6 route in a table
not containing the appropriate connected route for the gateway but which
contained a non-connected route (like a default gateway) fails while it
was previously working:

    $ ip link add eth0 type dummy
    $ ip link set up dev eth0
    $ ip addr add 2001:db8::1/64 dev eth0
    $ ip route add ::/0 via 2001:db8::5 dev eth0 table 20
    $ ip route add 2001:db8:cafe::1/128 via 2001:db8::6 dev eth0 table 20
    RTNETLINK answers: No route to host
    $ ip -6 route show table 20
    default via 2001:db8::5 dev eth0  metric 1024  pref medium

After this patch, we get:

    $ ip route add 2001:db8:cafe::1/128 via 2001:db8::6 dev eth0 table 20
    $ ip -6 route show table 20
    2001:db8:cafe::1 via 2001:db8::6 dev eth0  metric 1024  pref medium
    default via 2001:db8::5 dev eth0  metric 1024  pref medium

The if grt check needs to be under the 'if (cfg->fc_table)'
