Yes/No; we don't have such kind of flags, but
routes holds time of expiration in jiffies (rt6i_expires).
The above is probably because of bug in the code for reporting
expiration time to userspace; we have been using
jiffies_to_clock_t(rt6i_expires - jiffies), but probably,
we should use just 0, or -jiffies_to_clock_t(jiffies - rt6i_expires)
if time_after(jiffies, rt6i_expires).
