no, it doesn't work for cases in which the feedback loop is 2 or larger.
Say we cancel edge CD, C reroutes to D through B, B reroutes through A, and A routes through C. If we use poison
reverse, C tells B distance from D is infinity, but B continues to route through A anyway, so problem isn't solved and
we get a count to infinity.
