ip: fix triggering of 'icmp redirect'

commit eb55dc09b5dd040232d5de32812cc83001a23da6 upstream.

__mkroute_input() uses fib_validate_source() to trigger an icmp redirect.
My understanding is that fib_validate_source() is used to know if the src
address and the gateway address are on the same link. For that,
fib_validate_source() returns 1 (same link) or 0 (not the same network).
__mkroute_input() is the only user of these positive values, all other
callers only look if the returned value is negative.

Since the below patch, fib_validate_source() didn't return anymore 1 when
both addresses are on the same network, because the route lookup returns
RT_SCOPE_LINK instead of RT_SCOPE_HOST. But this is, in fact, right.
Let's adapat the test to return 1 again when both addresses are on the same
link.
