net: add confirm_neigh method to dst_ops
Add confirm_neigh method to dst_ops and use it from IPv4 and IPv6 to lookup and confirm the neighbour. Its usage via the new helper dst_confirm_neigh() should be restricted to MSG_PROBE users for performance reasons. For XFRM prefer the last tunnel address, if present. With help from Steffen Klassert.
