Thanks Dan.

The best thing to do is simply to not let ipv4_validate_peer()
fail, and just return void.

The only case that could "fail" is when we check the redirect state
and can't lookup a new valid neighbour for the new gateway.  We can
just restore the original gateway, and use that this time, and the
next use of this route will try again to get the neighbour anyways.

--------------------
ipv4: Fix peer validation on cached lookup.

If ipv4_valdiate_peer() fails during a cached entry lookup,
we'll NULL derer since the loop iterator assumes rth is not
NULL.

Letting this be handled as a failure is just bogus, so just make it
not fail.  If we have trouble getting a non-NULL neighbour for the
redirected gateway, just restore the original gateway and continue.

The very next use of this cached route will try again.
