Subject: PXEv6 failed due to the timeout of route table check

Hi,

I am trying to enable PXEv6 support in OvmfPkg. The new boot option showed as 
expected after the drivers in NetworkPkg are included. However, the boot image 
was never fetched after DHCPv6 server assigned an IPv6 address to the client. I 
digged into NetworkPkg and found it failed to get the gateway address in 
PxeBcCheckRouteTable() so a timeout was issued.

My network setup is very simple:

[Linux HOST] <--> (tap0) <--> [Linux VM]

In this case, the host and VM connect to each other directly, so it seems not 
necessary to setup the gateway.

I checked the git commit, the function was introduced in ae97201c to support
PXEv6 cross subnet. I wrote a patch to allow the route table check fail and it 
works for me.

Cheers,

Gary Lin
