net: ipv4: Add ip_mr_output()
Multicast routing is today handled in the input path. Locally generated MC packets don't hit the IPMR code today. Thus if a VXLAN remote address is multicast, the driver needs to set an OIF during route lookup. Thus MC routing configuration needs to be kept in sync with the VXLAN FDB and MDB. Ideally, the VXLAN packets would be routed by the MC routing code instead. To that end, this patch adds support to route locally generated multicast packets. The newly-added routines do largely what ip_mr_input() and ip_mr_forward() do: make an MR cache lookup to find where to send the packets, and use ip_mc_output() to send each of them. When no cache entry is found, the packet is punted to the daemon for resolution. However, an installation that uses a VXLAN underlay netdevice for which it also has matching MC routes, would get a different routing with this patch. Previously, the MC packets would be delivered directly to the underlay port, whereas now they would be MC-routed. In order to avoid this change in behavior, introduce an IPCB flag. Only if the flag is set will ip_mr_output() actually engage, otherwise it reverts to ip_mc_output(). This code is based on work by Roopa Prabhu and Nikolay Aleksandrov.
