  modules[libnl]: redo reconnect logic noticed when topmost default route changes like in case of connecting/disconnecting from VPN - fixes lp:770390

  This patch cleans up various aspects of the logic used to identify and process changes to topmost_route
  that trigger a reconnect event.

  While such logic in theory can happen often, in network-manager case we only observe this when having
  two physical cards going on and off changing the default route and when enabling and disabling VPN.
