[PATCH iproute2] ip route: save: exclude rtnh_flags which can't be set

[Alexander Mikhalitsyn <alexander.mikhalitsyn@virtuozzo.com>]

During "ip route save" we preserve all rtnh_flags,
even those that can't be set directly by the userspace.
This looks like a bug because a user can't restore
route dump which was generated by "ip route save" back.
This also prevents CRIU from correct restore of the
containers with some route configurations inside.

Reproducer:
$ ip link add type veth
$ ip addr add 10.0.0.1/24 dev veth0
$ ip link set veth0 up
$ ip route add default via 10.0.0.1
$ ip route save > route_dump
$ ip route restore < route_dump
Error: Invalid rtm_flags - can not contain DEAD or LINKDOWN.

Let's just omit non-settable rtnh_flags from the dump image.

According to the check in the fib_create_info() kernel
function it looks like we can't restore back only
RTNH_F_DEAD and RTNH_F_LINKDOWN flags, so RTNH_REJECT_MASK
contains this flags for now.
