Yes, we used to, every time we'd make a routing cache entry, we'd
execute this code.

Check fib_validate_source() from before the routing cache removal if
you don't believe me.

That check you are editing was added by myself as an optimization
that was necessary after the routing cache removal since this
function performs two FIB table lookups every time it is called.
