There are three users of ipmr_fib_lookup, two of them are in rcu_read_lock
section, one is not.

ipmr_fib_lookup does not pass down arg.rule reference, so I don't have a
chance to call fib_rule_put(arg.rule) on it. Thus I left ipmr_fib_lookup,
just adding FIB_LOOKUP_NOREF and expanding ipmr_fib_lookup into the
other function so I still have access to arg.rule to decrement the
reference counter.

Do you agree?
