linux: fix off-by-one in handling in /proc/net/route

Add an upstream fix for /proc/net/route causing missing routes doing
several continued reads from it.

Only 4.1+ is affected.

Closes #20403.

+Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: off-by-one in continuation handling in /proc/net/route
+
+When generating /proc/net/route we emit a header followed by a line for
+each route.  When a short read is performed we will restart this process
+based on the open file descriptor.  When calculating the start point we
+fail to take into account that the 0th entry is the header.  This leads
+us to skip the first entry when doing a continuation read.
+
+This can be easily seen with the comparison below:
+
+  while read l; do echo "$l"; done </proc/net/route >A
+  cat /proc/net/route >B
+  diff -bu A B | grep '^[+-]'
+
+On my example machine I have approximatly 10KB of route output.  There we
+see the very first non-title element is lost in the while read case,
+and an entry around the 8K mark in the cat case:
+
+  +wlan0 00000000 02021EAC 0003 0 0 400 00000000 0 0 0
+  -tun1  00C0AC0A 00000000 0001 0 0 950 00C0FFFF 0 0 0
+
+Fix up the off-by-one when reaquiring position on continuation.
