Jianlin reported a bug that for IPv4, ip route get from src_addr would fail
if src_addr is not an address on local system.
\# ip route get 1.1.1.1 from 2.2.2.2
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
While IPv6 would get the default route
\# ip -6 route get 1111::1 from 2222::2
1111::1 from 2222::2 via fe80:52:0:4982::1fe dev eth0 proto ra src \
2620::2cf:e2ff:fe40:37 metric 1024 hoplimit 64 pref medium
Fix it by disabling the __ip_dev_find() check if iif is LOOPBACK_IFINDEX.
