net: mroute: Check if rule is a default rule
When the ipmr starts, it adds one default FIB rule that matches all packets and sends them to the DEFAULT (multicast) FIB table. A more complex rule can be added by user to specify that for a specific interface, a packet should be look up at either an arbitrary table or according to the l3mdev of the interface. For drivers willing to offload the ipmr logic into a hardware but don't want to offload all the FIB rules functionality, provide a function that can indicate whether the FIB rule is the default multicast rule, thus only one routing table is needed. This way, a driver can register to the FIB notification chain, get notifications about FIB rules added and trigger some kind of an internal abort mechanism when a non default rule is added by the user.
