ipv6: fix possible infinite loop in fib6_select_path()

Found while auditing the same pattern Sashiko reported in
rt6_fill_node() [1]. Apply the same fix as
commit f8d8ce1b515a ("ipv6: fix possible infinite loop in fib6_info_uses_dev()").

Writers holding tb6_lock can list_del_rcu(&first->fib6_siblings)
without waiting for RCU readers; first->fib6_siblings.next then
still points into the old ring and this softirq-side walker never
reaches &first->fib6_siblings as its terminator. fib6_purge_rt()
always WRITE_ONCE()s first->fib6_nsiblings to 0 before
list_del_rcu(), so an inside-loop check is a reliable detach signal.
