selftests: pmtu: Fix encapsulating device in pmtu_vti6_link_change_mtu

In the pmtu_vti6_link_change_mtu test, both local and remote addresses
for the vti6 tunnel are assigned to the same address given to the dummy
interface that we use as encapsulating device with a known MTU.

This works as long as the dummy interface is actually selected, via
rt6_lookup(), as encapsulating device. But if the remote address of the
tunnel is a local address too, the loopback interface could also be
selected, and there's nothing wrong with it.

This is what some older -stable kernels do (3.18.z, at least), and
nothing prevents us from subtly changing FIB implementation to revert
back to that behaviour in the future.

Define an IPv6 prefix instead, and use two separate addresses as local
and remote for vti6, so that the encapsulating device can't be a
loopback interface.
