Subject: [PATCH net] net: fib_rules: add protocol check in rule_find

From: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@...ulusnetworks.com>

After commit f9d4b0c1e969 ("fib_rules: move common handling of newrule
delrule msgs into fib_nl2rule"), rule_find is strict about checking
for an existing rule. rule_find must check against all
user given attributes, else it may match against a subset
of attributes and return an existing rule.

In the below case, without support for protocol match, rule_find
will match only against 'table main' and return an existing rule.

$ip -4 rule add table main protocol boot

This patch adds protocol support to rule_find, forcing it to
check protocol match if given by the user.

Fixes: f9d4b0c1e969 ("fib_rules: move common handling of newrule delrule msgs into fib_nl2rule")

I spent some time looking at all match keys today and protocol
was the only missing one (protocol is not in a released kernel yet).
The only way this could be avoided is to move back to the old loose
rule_find. I am worried about this new strict checking surprising users,
but going back to the previous loose checking does not seem right either.
If there is a reason to believe that users did rely on the previous
behaviour, I will be happy to revert. Here is another example of old and
new behaviour.

old rule_find behaviour:
$ip -4 rule add table main protocol boot
$ip -4 rule add table main protocol boot
$ip -4 rule add table main protocol boot
$ip rule show
0:      from all lookup local 
32763:  from all lookup main  proto boot 
32764:  from all lookup main  proto boot 
32765:  from all lookup main  proto boot 
32766:  from all lookup main 
32767:  from all lookup default 

new rule_find behaviour (after this patch):
$ip -4 rule add table main protocol boot
$ip -4 rule add table main protocol boot
