[IPV4]: Bug fix in rt_check_expire()
- rt_check_expire() fixes (an overflow occured if size of the hash
was >= 65536)
reminder of the bugfix:
The rt_check_expire() has a serious problem on machines with large
route caches, and a standard HZ value of 1000.
With default values, ie ip_rt_gc_interval = 60*HZ = 60000 ;
the loop count :
for (t = ip_rt_gc_interval << rt_hash_log; t >= 0;
overflows (t is a 31 bit value) as soon rt_hash_log is >= 16 (65536
slots in route cache hash table).
In this case, rt_check_expire() does nothing at all
