      ipv4: fix NULL pointer + success return in route lookup path · 73e42897

      Don't drop route if we're not caching	
      
      	I recently got a report of an oops on a route lookup.  Maxime was
      testing what would happen if route caching was turned off (doing so by setting
      making rt_caching always return 0), and found that it triggered an oops.  I
      looked at it and found that the problem stemmed from the fact that the route
      lookup routines were returning success from their lookup paths (which is good),
      but never set the **rp pointer to anything (which is bad).  This happens because
      in rt_intern_hash, if rt_caching returns false, we call rt_drop and return 0.
      This almost emulates slient success.  What we should be doing is assigning *rp =
      rt and _not_ dropping the route.  This way, during slow path lookups, when we
      create a new route cache entry, we don't immediately discard it, rather we just
      don't add it into the cache hash table, but we let this one lookup use it for
      the purpose of this route request.  Maxime has tested and reports it prevents
      the oops.  There is still a subsequent routing issue that I'm looking into
      further, but I'm confident that, even if its related to this same path, this
      patch makes sense to take.

      Remove duplicates, a stray merge conflict marker, and an entry for a file
      which doesn't exist, and move one entry to its correct alphabetical place.
