Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ipv4: Validate route entry type at insert instead of
 every lookup.


fib_semantic_match() requires that if the type doesn't signal an
automatic error, it must be of type RTN_UNICAST, RTN_LOCAL,
RTN_BROADCAST, RTN_ANYCAST, or RTN_MULTICAST.

Checking this every route lookup is pointless work.

Instead validate it during route insertion, via fib_create_info().

Also, there was nothing making sure the type value was less than
RTN_MAX, so add that missing check while we're here.
