    ipv4: Call fib_select_default() only when actually necessary. · 21d8c49e

    fib_select_default() is a complete NOP, and completely pointless
    to invoke, when we have no more than 1 default route installed.
    
    And this is far and away the common case.
    
    So remember how many prefixlen==0 routes we have in the routing
    table, and elide the call when we have no more than one of those.
    
    This cuts output route creation time by 157 cycles on Niagara2+.
    
    In order to add the new int to fib_table, we have to correct the type
    of ->tb_data[] to unsigned long, otherwise the private area will be
    unaligned on 64-bit systems.
