Subject: net: ipv4: fix table id in getroute response

From: David Ahern <dsa@cumulusnetworks.com>


[ Upstream commit 8a430ed50bb1b19ca14a46661f3b1b35f2fb5c39 ]

rtm_table is an 8-bit field while table ids are allowed up to u32. Commit
709772e6e065 ("net: Fix routing tables with id > 255 for legacy software")
added the preference to set rtm_table in dumps to RT_TABLE_COMPAT if the
table id is > 255. The table id returned on get route requests should do
the same.
