When the forward output route cannot be used in icmp_route_lookup(),
it enters the "reverse path" and calls ip_route_input() on fl4_dec.daddr,
the original packet's source address.
ip_route_input() only returns an error for truly invalid packets. For
unreachable addresses it will succeed and return an input route whose
dst.output is set to ip_rt_bug(). The existing check only rejects
RTN_LOCAL routes, so the RTN_UNREACHABLE route types can still be returned
and later used for output, syzkaller triggering a WARN_ON_ONCE()
in ip_rt_bug() as bellow:
------------[ cut here ]------------

Reject any input route that is RTN_UNREACHABLE to fix it.
