	Very strange. Above IN_DEV_FORWARD matters only
when dev->ifindex == oif. And this can happen only for the
ip_route_input_slow -> ip_mkroute_input -> __mkroute_input
case. We are not supposed to reach fib_validate_source because
ip_mkroute_input is after the IN_DEV_FORWARD check in
ip_route_input_slow. This was for forwarding.

	If the case is not forwarding but local delivery,
the dev->ifindex != oif condition should be always true
because we provide 0 or LOOPBACK_IFINDEX for oif.

	So, the question is how we reach fib_validate_source
with dev->ifindex == oif and IN_DEV_FORWARD(idev) already
checked to be != 0 ?
