'fi->fib_tb_id' is initialized from 'cfg->fc_table' which is not
initialized in the IOCTL path which I guess is what you are using given
the syntax of the file. You can therefore end up having two identical
routes that only differ in their FIB info due to its associated table
ID.

Can you try this fix [1]? Seems to be working for me. Tested using this
reproducer [2].

With f96a3d7455:

 # ./ioctl_repro.sh
 default via 192.0.2.2 dev dummy10
 default via 192.0.2.2 dev dummy10

With f96a3d7455 reverted:

 # ./ioctl_repro.sh
 SIOCADDRT: File exists
 default via 192.0.2.2 dev dummy10

With the fix:

 # ./ioctl_repro.sh
 SIOCADDRT: File exists
 default via 192.0.2.2 dev dummy10

Thanks
