net: fix route cache rebuilds

We added an automatic route cache rebuilding in commit 1080d709fb9d8cd43
but had to correct few bugs. One of the assumption of original patch,
was that entries where kept sorted in a given way.

This assumption is known to be wrong (commit 1ddbcb005c395518 gave an
explanation of this and corrected a leak) and expensive to respect.

Paweł Staszewski reported to me one of his machine got its routing cache
disabled after few messages like :

[ 2677.850065] Route hash chain too long!
[ 2677.850080] Adjust your secret_interval!
[82839.662993] Route hash chain too long!
[82839.662996] Adjust your secret_interval!
[155843.731650] Route hash chain too long!
[155843.731664] Adjust your secret_interval!
[155843.811881] Route hash chain too long!
[155843.811891] Adjust your secret_interval!
[155843.858209] vlan0811: 5 rebuilds is over limit, route caching
disabled
[155843.858212] Route hash chain too long!
[155843.858213] Adjust your secret_interval!

This is because rt_intern_hash() might be fooled when computing a chain
length, because multiple entries with same keys can differ because of
TOS (or mark/oif) bits.

In the rare case the fast algorithm see a too long chain, and before
taking expensive path, we call a helper function in order to not count
duplicates of same routes, that only differ with tos/mark/oif bits. This
helper works with data already in cpu cache and is not be very
expensive, despite its O(N^2) implementation.

Paweł Staszewski sucessfully tested this patch on his loaded router.
