ipv4/ipv6: Prepare for new route gateway semantics.
In the future the ipv4/ipv6 route gateway will take on two types of values: 1) INADDR_ANY/IN6ADDR_ANY, for local network routes, and in this case the neighbour must be obtained using the destination address in ipv4/ipv6 header as the lookup key. 2) Everything else, the actual nexthop route address. So if the gateway is not inaddr-any we use it, otherwise we must use the packet's destination address. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
