This caused a panic in rtfreee() called with a root node from the
routing socket code (when processing a RTM_GET message looking for
the default route while there is none).
Since no existing code seems to have any use getting the root node
from rn_match(), it seems cleaner never to return it rather than
check for this condition at the caller's.

able to expand the zeros, ones etc masks on the fly. It seems a good
number of domains don't set the rn_maxkey variable anyway, and because
this is a domain itself, there is no guarantee we've been called after
a protocol that actually has set it (ie: inet), so start with a maxkey
of a relatively sane size as a base point until it can adapt on the fly.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
This submission was done by hand-applying FreeBSD local modifications on
top of the UCB code, rather than trying to patch the UCB code in on top
of the FreeBSD code due to the extensive changes.
