Build upon David Miller's initial patches to set the per-route rto_min
so users can specify the rto_min in the same units (milliseconds) in

convert to and from jiffies themselves, when there can be different
values of HZ from system to system would be error prone.

The api in netlink should be in milliseconds rather than compensating
in the application (iproute2).
My understanding of the in-kernel rtnetlink code is far from complete,
but it doesn't seem to have much in the way of provisions for unit
conversion, which would suggest no nice suffix-based ui as in tc, and ip
is already doing some massaging of units on the display side for a
couple of the other parameters, so I'm at something of a loss.
