RT_TOS() only clears one of the ECN bits. Therefore, when
fib_compute_spec_dst() resorts to a fib lookup, it can return
different results depending on the value of the second ECN bit.

For example, ECT(0) and ECT(1) packets could be treated differently.

  $ ip netns add ns0
  $ ip netns add ns1
  $ ip link add name veth01 netns ns0 type veth peer name veth10 netns ns1
  $ ip -netns ns0 link set dev lo up
  $ ip -netns ns1 link set dev lo up
  $ ip -netns ns0 link set dev veth01 up
  $ ip -netns ns1 link set dev veth10 up

  $ ip -netns ns0 address add 192.0.2.10/24 dev veth01
  $ ip -netns ns1 address add 192.0.2.11/24 dev veth10

  $ ip -netns ns1 address add 192.0.2.21/32 dev lo
  $ ip -netns ns1 route add 192.0.2.10/32 tos 4 dev veth10 src 192.0.2.21
  $ ip netns exec ns1 sysctl -wq net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts=0

With TOS 4 and ECT(1), ns1 replies using source address 192.0.2.21
(ping uses -Q to set all TOS and ECN bits):

  $ ip netns exec ns0 ping -c 1 -b -Q 5 192.0.2.255
  [...]
  64 bytes from 192.0.2.21: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.544 ms

But with TOS 4 and ECT(0), ns1 replies using source address 192.0.2.11
because the "tos 4" route isn't matched:

  $ ip netns exec ns0 ping -c 1 -b -Q 6 192.0.2.255
  [...]
  64 bytes from 192.0.2.11: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.597 ms

After this patch the ECN bits don't affect the result anymore:

  $ ip netns exec ns0 ping -c 1 -b -Q 6 192.0.2.255
  [...]
  64 bytes from 192.0.2.21: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.591 ms
