Hello,

That's not intentional, I just missed them. At the beginning, I
wanted to organize the drop reasons in ip_route_input_noref(),
and things become complex when I do it. Let me have a check
and make the coverage complete.

Sorry about that. I thought the patches for ip_route_input_noref,
ip_route_input_rcu, ip_route_input_slow are completely new one,
and abandoned the changelogs in the patches. I'll complete the
changelogs in the next version.
