Subject: ipv4: Do not allow MAIN to be alias for new LOCAL w/ custom rules

From: Alexander Duyck <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 5350d54f6cd12eaff623e890744c79b700bd3f17 ]

In the case of custom rules being present we need to handle the case of the LOCAL table being intialized after the new rule has been added. To address that I am adding a new check so that we can make certain we don't use an alias of MAIN for LOCAL when allocating a new table.
