Subject: [IPV4] ROUTE: ip_rt_dump() is unecessary slow
I noticed "ip route list cache x.y.z.t" can be *very* slow.
While strace-ing -T it I also noticed that first part of route cache is
fetched quite fast :

while the part at the end of the table is more expensive:

The following patch corrects this performance/latency problem, removing quadratic behavior.
