[PATCH] iproute: ensure scope is correctly initialised

Code in iproute.c attempted to avoid assigning values to structure
elements which were know to be zero unless the value to be assigned
was non-zero.
Commit ce4bc1ed added some more such cases. However, the treatment
of req.r.rtm_scope was incorrect. Although this saved a few bytes it
resulted in incorrect behaviour like:
$ sudo busybox ip route add 192.168.0.0/24 via 10.98.106.9 dev wlan0
ip: RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
In practice this attempt at optimisation results in no saving, so
remove it.
