Since NETLINK_GET_STRICT_CHK was enabled, the kernel rejects commands
that pass a prefix length, eg:

 ip route get `1.0.0.0/1
  Error: ipv4: Invalid values in header for route get request.
 ip route get 0.0.0.0/0
  Error: ipv4: rtm_src_len and rtm_dst_len must be 32 for IPv4

Since there's no point in setting a rtm_dst_len that we know is going
to be rejected, just force it to the right value if it's passed on
the command line.
