network: check if gateway is ready only when the nexthop is bound to link

Currently, we support three types of nexthop:
1. simple nexthop, which is bound to link, may have specific gateway
   address,
2. blackhole nexthop, which is global configuration and is not bound to
   any links,
3. group nexthop, which is also global configuration and is not bound to
   any links.

Thus, gateway_is_ready() is only necessary to call for simple nexthop
case. Let's make the logic simpler.
