net: ipv6: Remove redundant RTA_OIF in multipath routes

Dinesh reported that RTA_MULTIPATH nexthops are 8-bytes larger with IPv6 than IPv4. The recent refactoring for multipath support in netlink messages does discriminate between non-multipath which needs the OIF and multipath which adds a rtnexthop struct for each hop making the RTA_OIF attribute redundant. Resolve by adding a flag to the info function to skip the oif for multipath.
