Subject: [PATCH] Fix "ip rule delete table 256"

When trying to delete a table >= 256 using iproute2 the local table
will be deleted.
The table id is specified as a netlink attribute when it needs more then
8 bits and iproute2 then sets the table field to RT_TABLE_UNSPEC (0).
Preconditions to matching the table id in the rule delete code
doesn't seem to take the "table id in netlink attribute" into condition
so the frh_get_table helper function never gets to do its job when
matching against current rule.
Use the helper function twice instead of peaking at the table value directly.

An alternative would be to say RT_TABLE_UNSPEC is incorrect value
to use for the rule->table when using the netlink attribute and
change iproute2 instead....
... but RT_TABLE_UNSPEC sounds quite suitable, so why not
change the kernel to be more forgiving.
