This is because peter fixed RTFREE() 7 years ago in rev.1.29 of route.h.
It used not to be wrapped in "do while (0)".  It was also fixed in NetBSD
7.5 years ago so there should be few portabilty problems with assuming
that it is fixed.  NetBSD is missing the style bug in rev.1.29 (indentation
of the wrapped code instead of outdentation of the do-while).
