Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/6] net/ipv4: Move call_fib_entry_notifiers up for new routes

Move call to call_fib_entry_notifiers for new IPv4 routes to right
before the call to fib_insert_alias. At this point the only remaining
failure path is memory allocations in fib_insert_node. Handle that
very unlikely failure with a call to call_fib_entry_notifiers to
tell drivers about it.

At this point notifier handlers can decide the fate of the new route
with a clean path to delete the potential new entry if the notifier
returns non-0.
