ipv6: Start path selection from the first nexthop

[ Upstream commit 4d0ab3a6885e3e9040310a8d8f54503366083626 ]

Cited commit transitioned IPv6 path selection to use hash-threshold
instead of modulo-N. With hash-threshold, each nexthop is assigned a
region boundary in the multipath hash function's output space and a
nexthop is chosen if the calculated hash is smaller than the nexthop's
region boundary.

Hash-threshold does not work correctly if path selection does not start
with the first nexthop. For example, if fib6_select_path() is always
passed the last nexthop in the group, then it will always be chosen
because its region boundary covers the entire hash function's output
space.

Fix this by starting the selection process from the first nexthop and do
not consider nexthops for which rt6_score_route() provided a negative
score.
