This really looks like papering over fundamental brokenness of IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_CACHED since you wouldn't otherwise get these entries in the routing cache. This reminds me that I better revisit the reasons that people gave for actually using IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_CACHED the last time we tried to get rid of it.
