[PATCH 3/3] selftests: net: netlink-dumps: test dump of route larger than skb

[PATCH 3/3] selftests: net: netlink-dumps: test dump of route larger than skb

[Stephen Hemminger]

Add IPv4 and IPv6 multipath routes that do not fit in the first dump
skb of a fresh socket. The dump must return the route or fail with
-EMSGSIZE, not end with status 0.

IPv6 nexthops cannot use lo, so create a dummy device and generalize
lo_set_up() to if_set_up(). Add the IPv4 routing options to config.
