Subject: [PATCH 1/5] route: Use the device mtu as the default for blackhole
 routes

As it is, we return null as the default mtu of blackhole routes.
This may lead to a propagation of a bogus pmtu if the default_mtu
method of a blackhole route is invoked. So return dst->dev->mtu
as the default mtu instead.
