FWIW I believe this breaks pre-4.0 stable kernels (unfortunately it
just showed up in 3.10.90). In kernels without 053c095a82cf
("netlink: make nlmsg_end() and genlmsg_end() void") then
fib_nl_fill_rule() returns a positive value (skb->len) on success, so
we break out of the loop here immediately. Symptom is "ip rule show"
loops forever printing the first rule.
After I finish testing a fix (as trivial as changing to "if (err <
0)") here, I'll send it to -stable guys.
