      Makes krt.c much more readable.

introduces regression, so in configurations with more
than one kernel syncer when kernel protocol added/enabled/or
restarted (for example due to filter changes), no KRT scan is
performed and BRT remains empty until next scan on regular
interval specified scan time option).

BIRD config:
------------
# Configure logging
log stderr all;
log syslog all;

router id 172.16.1.1;

protocol device devices {
	scan time 120;
}

### KRT 10

table rt_10;

protocol kernel kernel10 {
	table rt_10;

	debug all;

	persist no;
	scan time 120;
	learn yes;
	device routes yes;
	kernel table 10;
	import all;
	export none;
}

### KRT 20

table rt_20;

protocol kernel kernel20 {
	disabled yes;

	table rt_20;

	debug all;

	persist no;
	scan time 120;
	learn yes;
	device routes yes;
	kernel table 20;
	import all;
	export none;
}

System configuration:
---------------------

# ip -4 addr sh dev lo255
6: lo255: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN 
    inet 192.0.2.1/24 brd 192.0.2.255 scope global lo255

# ip -4 route show table 10
172.16.1.0/24 dev lo255  proto static  scope link  src 192.0.2.1 

# ip -4 route show table 20
172.16.1.0/24 dev lo255  proto static  scope link  src 192.0.2.1

After BIRD starts:
------------------

# birdc 'show protocols'
BIRD 1.3.11 ready.
name     proto    table    state  since       info
devices  Device   master   up     10:21       
kernel10 Kernel   rt_10    up     10:21       
kernel20 Kernel   rt_20    down   10:21

# birdc 'show route table rt_10'
BIRD 1.3.11 ready.
172.16.1.0/24      dev lo255 [kernel10 10:21] * (10)

# birdc 'show route table rt_20'
BIRD 1.3.11 ready.

Now enable kernel20:
--------------------

# birdc 'enable kernel20'
BIRD 1.3.11 ready.
kernel20: enabled
