Subject: [PATCHv2 2.6.24] fib: fix route replacement, fib_info is shared


	fib_info can be shared by many route prefixes but we don't
want duplicate alternative routes for a prefix+tos+priority. Last
change was not correct to check fib_treeref because it accounts usage
from other prefixes. Additionally, avoid replacement without error
if new route is same, as Joonwoo Park suggests.
