[PATCH] Update old references to /usr/lib/iproute2

[Yedaya Katsman]

In 962692356a1c ("Makefile: use /usr/share/iproute2 for config files")
The path was changed to /usr/share/, but a comment and a define were still
using the old path, Update them.

I would rather remove the #define's in include/utils.h
The file is internal, and everywhere is using the values that
are in the Makefile.
