BTW, I wonder if the old kernels (2.6.32 & 2.6.34) need something as
well ?

Before commit ebc0ffae5dfb444 and commit 7fa7cb7109d0, it looks like we
had an overflow in fib_rule_get() and refcnt was wrapping.

So maybe we should add a fib_rule_put() for stable kernels, and use
FIB_LOOKUP_NOREF on next kernels ...
