Subject: [PATCH] small memory leak with FIB rules

From: "Denis V. Lunev" <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2007 16:55:01 +0400

This patch fixes a small memory leak. Default fib rules can be deleted by
the user if the rule does not carry FIB_RULE_PERMANENT flag, f.e. by
	ip rule flush

Such a rule will not be freed as the ref-counter has 2 on start and becomes
clearly unreachable after removal.
