ipv4: Update exception handling for multipath routes via same device
Kfir reported that pmtu exceptions are not created properly for
deployments where multipath routes use the same device.
After some digging I see 2 compounding problems:
1. ip_route_output_key_hash_rcu is updating the flowi4_oif *after*
the route lookup. This is the second use case where this has
been a problem (the first is related to use of vti devices with
VRF). I can not find any reason for the oif to be changed after the
lookup; the code goes back to the start of git. It does not seem
logical so remove it.
2. fib_lookups for exceptions do not call fib_select_path to handle
multipath route selection based on the hash.
The end result is that the fib_lookup used to add the exception
always creates it based using the first leg of the route.
An example topology showing the problem:
| host1
+------+
| eth0 | .209
+------+
|
+------+
switch | br0 |
+------+
|
+---------+---------+
| host2 | host3
+------+ +------+
| eth0 | .250 | eth0 | 192.168.252.252
+------+ +------+
+-----+ +-----+
| vti | .2 | vti | 192.168.247.3
+-----+ +-----+

ip -netns host1 ro ls cache
Before this patch the cache always shows exceptions against the first
leg in the multipath route; 192.168.252.250 per this example. Since the
hash has an initial random seed, you may need to vary the final octet
more than what is listed. In my tests, using addresses between 11 and 19
usually found 1 that used both legs.
With this patch, the cache will have exceptions for both legs.
