net: vrf: Fix crash when IPv6 is disabled at boot time

The problem above is due to the fact that the fib hash table is not allocated when IPv6 is disabled at boot. As for the VRF driver it should not do any IPv6 initializations if IPv6 is disabled, so it needs to know if IPv6 is disabled at boot. The disable parameter is private to the IPv6 module, so provide an accessor for modules to determine if IPv6 was disabled at boot time.
