iproute2 can inconsistently show the name of protocol 0 if a route with
a custom protocol is added. For example:
  dsa@cartman:~$ ip -6 ro ls table all | egrep 'proto none|proto unspec'
  local ::1 dev lo  table local  proto none  metric 0  pref medium
  local fe80::225:90ff:fecb:1c18 dev lo  table local  proto none  metric 0  pref medium
  local fe80::92e2:baff:fe5c:da5d dev lo  table local  proto none  metric 0  pref medium

protocol 0 is pretty printed as "none". Add a route with a custom protocol:
  dsa@cartman:~$ sudo ip -6 ro add  2001:db8:200::1/128 dev eth0 proto 123

And now display has switched from "none" to "unspec":
  dsa@cartman:~$ ip -6 ro ls table all | egrep 'proto none|proto unspec'
  local ::1 dev lo  table local  proto unspec  metric 0  pref medium
  local fe80::225:90ff:fecb:1c18 dev lo  table local  proto unspec  metric 0  pref medium
  local fe80::92e2:baff:fe5c:da5d dev lo  table local  proto unspec  metric 0  pref medium

The rt_protos file has the id to name mapping as "unspec" while
rtnl_rtprot_tab[0] has "none". The presence of a custom protocol id
triggers reading the rt_protos file and overwriting the string in
rtnl_rtprot_tab. All of this is logic from 2004 and earlier.

Update rtnl_rtprot_tab to "unspec" to match the enum value.

Applied, thanks.
