I just dumped the routes for which it does increase the rt6i_nsiblings
counter in this condition:

                        /* If we have the same destination and the same metric,

>From my understanding these two routes should not be aggregated in one ecmp

before.)

I wonder why the '(rt)' route does not have the expires flag, but it seems we
have to special-case RTF_CACHE routes here which derive from different
levels of the fib6_tree. Does that make sense?
