Ya, I think you're right.  I was trying to be careful to not break git
bisect, but looks like I only covered the compile case, and broke the
run-time case.  I don't see anyway around this other than squashing
the rocker/dsa patches in with this one.  I'll send v2.

In the fib cases, we find the port dev from the route nexthop dev by
checking if we had swdev_parent_id_get, so we already know ops is
valid.
