net: ipv6: fix panic when IPv4 route references loopback IPv6 nexthop and add selftest

syzbot reported a kernel panic [1] when an IPv4 route references
a loopback IPv6 nexthop object:

Reproduction:

    ip -6 nexthop add id 100 dev lo
    ip route add 172.20.20.0/24 nhid 100
    ping -c1 172.20.20.1     # kernel crash

Problem Description

When a standalone IPv6 nexthop object is created with a loopback device,
fib6_nh_init() misclassifies it as a reject route. Nexthop objects have
no destination prefix (fc_dst=::), so fib6_is_reject() always matches
any loopback nexthop. The reject path skips fib_nh_common_init(), leaving
nhc_pcpu_rth_output unallocated. When an IPv4 route later references
this nexthop and triggers a route lookup, __mkroute_output() calls
raw_cpu_ptr(nhc->nhc_pcpu_rth_output) on a NULL pointer, causing a page
fault.

The reject classification was designed for regular IPv6 routes to prevent
kernel routing loops, but nexthop objects should not be subject to this
check since they carry no destination information. Loop prevention is
handled separately when the route itself is created.
