[ 77/85] ipv4: Add FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NH

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Julian Anastasov <ja@xxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit c92b96553a80c1dbe2ebe128bbe37c8f98f148bf ]

Add flag to request that output route should be
returned with known rt_gateway, in case we want to use
it as nexthop for neighbour resolving.

	The returned route can be cached as follows:

- in NH exception: because the cached routes are not shared
	with other destinations
- in FIB NH: when using gateway because all destinations for
	NH share same gateway

	As last option, to return rt_gateway!=0 we have to
set DST_NOCACHE.
