ip rule duplicates

Hi,

When we add the same rule again with flag NLM_F_EXCL we expect that we 
receive error:
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
This behaviour is already in ip routing part.

I have noticed that iproute2 when adds new rule it attach flag 
NLM_F_EXCL to call.
(see 
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/shemminger/iproute2.git/tree/ip/iprule.c#n334)

Next thing what I found is that this flag is not handled from kernel side.

I implemented this feature and I tested this with qemu x86 on:
linux-4.5.4
linux (git)
linux-stable (git)
Tested with ipv4 and ipv6.

current behaviour with ipv4:
localhost ~ # ip rule
0: from all lookup local
32766: from all lookup main
32767: from all lookup default
localhost ~ # ip rule add from 10.46.177.97 lookup 104 pref 1005
localhost ~ # ip rule add from 10.46.177.97 lookup 104 pref 1005
localhost ~ # ip rule
0: from all lookup local
1005: from 10.46.177.97 lookup 104
1005: from 10.46.177.97 lookup 104
32766: from all lookup main
32767: from all lookup default

expected behavior after patch:
localhost ~ # ip rule
0:    from all lookup local
32766:    from all lookup main
32767:    from all lookup default
localhost ~ # ip rule add from 10.46.177.97 lookup 104 pref 1005
localhost ~ # ip rule add from 10.46.177.97 lookup 104 pref 1005
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
localhost ~ # ip rule
0:    from all lookup local
1005:    from 10.46.177.97 lookup 104
32766:    from all lookup main
32767:    from all lookup default


There was already topic regarding this but I don't see any changes 
merged and problem still occurs.
