Subject: ipv4: Fix flushing of cached routing informations


From: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com>

[ Upstream commit 13d82bf50dce632355fcccafa4fe44a9b5e706d8 ]

Currently we can not flush cached pmtu/redirect informations via
the ipv4_sysctl_rtcache_flush sysctl. We need to check the rt_genid
of the old route and reset the nh exeption if the old route is
expired when we bind a new route to a nh exeption.
