rG97f7b21dd525: rtnetlink: Fix weight overflow in RTA_MULTIPATH
Summary

If the weight value is larger than 8 bits, set it to the maximum.
Also, only send RTA_WEIGHT if its value is not the default.
This reduces message size and matches the behavior of
non-multipath routes.

Doesn't this break backwards compatibility? Or is this code new enough that it doesn't matter?

This one is new.
I've added it in 84bb3648d2151 for backward compatibility with dump_rc_nhop. :D
