Set rt and ifp variables when opts->ip6po_nexthop is present

Since I migrated to FreeBSD11.2, the -g option of ping6 is broken. The command
does always return the error "ping6: sendmsg: No route to host".

Having a llok at the code, it seems that this regression was caused by the
commit https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=286195, were the
handling of the IPV6_NEXTHOP option was changed.

The bug seems to be caused by the fact that when exiting the bloc who check the
presence of the flag opts->ip6po_nexthop, the variables rt and ifp aren't set
anymore.

Setting rt and ifp seems to fix the problem (see the attached diff).
