I think we still have at least two problems with pmtu handling.
One is that "ip route flush cache" flushes the routing cache
but not the cached metrics on the inetpeer.
Another problem might be that we ignore the user configured
fib_metrics in rt_init_metrics() if we have a cached metric
on the inetpeer.
I'll try to look at this a bit closer tomorrow.
