Andreas reported breakage adding routes with local nexthops:
$ ip route show table main
...
172.28.0.0/24 dev vnf-xe1p0  proto kernel  scope link  src 172.28.0.16

$ ip route add 10.0.0.0/8 via 172.28.0.32 table 100 dev vnf-xe1p0
RTNETLINK answers: Resource temporarily unavailable

3bfd847203c changed the lookup to use the passed in table but for cases like
this the nexthop is in the local table rather than the passed in table.

Fixes: 3bfd847203c ("net: Use passed in table for nexthop lookups")
