The root cause is use of res.table uninitialized.
Thanks to Nikolay for noticing the uninitialized use amongst the maze of
gotos.
As Nikolay pointed out the second initialization is not required to fix
the oops, but rather to fix a related problem where a valid lookup should
be invalidated before creating the rth entry.
Fixes: b7503e0cdb5d ("net: Add FIB table id to rtable")
