[PATCH iproute2] ip route: Set rtm_dst_len to 32 for all ip route get requests

[David Ahern]

From: David Ahern <dsah...@gmail.com>

Jason reported that ip route get with a prefix length is now
failing:
    $ 192.168.50.0/24
    RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

iproute2 now uses strict mode and strict mode in the kernel
requires rtm_dst_len to be 32. Non-strict mode ignores the
prefix length, so this allows ip to work without affecting
existing users who add a prefix length to the request.

Fixes: aea41afcfd6d6 ("ip bridge: Set NETLINK_GET_STRICT_CHK on socket")
