Currently, the test breaks if the SUT already has a default route
configured for IPv6. Fix by adding "metric 9999" to the `ip -6 ro add`
command, so that multiple default routes can coexist.

Fixes: 4ed591c8ab44 ("net/ipv6: Allow onlink routes to have a device mismatch if it 
is the default route")

It would probably require some work on the test but I think it could benefit from using two different network namespaces. Currently it is using PEER_NS and the default. I think avoiding the default one is beneficial for everyone as it ensures the state is clean and that the test won't interrupt the system connectivity.

Other tests already do that, e.g some tests in fib_tests.sh use ns1 and ns2 namespaces.

What do you all think?
