So I looked into getting the tests above to run (had to get a UML fix
for recent kernels).

Against vanilla v4.7 (plus that one UML fix), all the tests pass.

Against linus/master (plus that one UML fix), I see 7 failures, which
all look very similar:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Interestingly, reverting 153380ec4b9b ("fib_rules: Added NLM_F_EXCL
support to fib_nl_newrule"), does not seem to fix it, and I get the
same errors.
