Looks much better. Thanks for making those changes Roopa.

I've just a couple of minor comments on this new version.

I think the standard practice is to not put inline on functions declared 
in .c files, but instead to just let the compiler use its best judgement 
as to whether it's worth inlining or not.

Ditto.

Shouldn't the above line be indented level with the opening bracket of 
kmemdup?

It isn't safe to leave the current route untouched if the net device is 
being deleted, since a nexthop will be left holding a stale pointer to 
it. Perhaps delete the route entirely in that case?

Since the nexthop is being changed, this should be change_nexthops. I 
know this was a problem in the existing code you are changing in this 
patch, if it isn't too much trouble it would be good to fix this whilst 
reindenting it.

Ditto, this should also be change_nexthops.
