mlxsw: spectrum_router: Abort on source-specific routes
Without resorting to ACLs, the device performs route lookup solely based on the destination IP address. In case source-specific routing is needed, an error is returned and the abort mechanism is activated, thus allowing the kernel to take over forwarding decisions. Instead of aborting, we can trap specific destination prefixes where source-specific routes are present, but this will result in a lot more code that is unlikely to ever be used.
