From: Greg Kroah-Hartman gregkh@linuxfoundation.org
When commit e9919a24d302 ("fib_rules: return 0 directly if an exactly same rule exists when NLM_F_EXCL not supplied") was backported to 4.9.y, it changed the logic a bit as err should have been reset before exiting the test, like it happens in the original logic.
If this is not set, errors happen :(
