Guillaume Nault 1dbdce30f0 ipv4: Define inet_sk_init_flowi4() and use it in inet_sk_rebuild_header().
IPv4 code commonly has to initialise a flowi4 structure from an IPv4
socket. This requires looking at potential IPv4 options to set the
proper destination address, call flowi4_init_output() with the correct
set of parameters and run the sk_classify_flow security hook.

Instead of reimplementing these operations in different parts of the
stack, let's define inet_sk_init_flowi4() which does all these
operations.

The first user is inet_sk_rebuild_header(), where inet_sk_init_flowi4()
replaces ip_route_output_ports(). Unlike ip_route_output_ports(), which
sets the flowi4 structure and performs the route lookup in one go,
inet_sk_init_flowi4() only initialises the flow. The route lookup is
then done by ip_route_output_flow(). Decoupling flow initialisation
from route lookup makes this new interface applicable more broadly as
it will allow some users to overwrite specific struct flowi4 members
before the route lookup.
