Static analyzer reported:
Return value of function 'iproute_flush_cache', called at iproute.c:1732, 
is not checked. The return value is obtained from function 'open64' and possibly contains an error code.

Corrections explained:
The function iproute_flush_cache() may return an error code, which was
previously ignored. This could lead to unexpected behavior if the cache
flush fails. Added error handling to ensure the function fails gracefully
when iproute_flush_cache() returns an error.

Triggers found by static analyzer Svace.
