is there really value in this one? You ignore the error case from
ip_route_use_hint which is a similar, highly unlikely error path so why
care about this one? The only failure case is ip_mc_validate_source from
udp_v4_early_demux and 'early demux' drops really mean nothing to the user.

The reason codes should be meaningful to users and not derived from a
code path. What does SKB_DROP_REASON_IP_ROUTE_INPUT mean as a failure?
