David Ahern 5c9f7c1dfc ipv4: Add helpers for neigh lookup for nexthop
A common theme in the output path is looking up a neigh entry for a
nexthop, either the gateway in an rtable or a fallback to the daddr
in the skb:

        nexthop = (__force u32)rt_nexthop(rt, ip_hdr(skb)->daddr);
        neigh = __ipv4_neigh_lookup_noref(dev, nexthop);
        if (unlikely(!neigh))
                neigh = __neigh_create(&arp_tbl, &nexthop, dev, false);

To allow the nexthop to be an IPv6 address we need to consider the
family of the nexthop and then call __ipv{4,6}_neigh_lookup_noref based
on it.

To make this simpler, add a ip_neigh_gw4 helper similar to ip_neigh_gw6
added in an earlier patch which handles:

        neigh = __ipv4_neigh_lookup_noref(dev, nexthop);
        if (unlikely(!neigh))
                neigh = __neigh_create(&arp_tbl, &nexthop, dev, false);

And then add a second one, ip_neigh_for_gw, that calls either
ip_neigh_gw4 or ip_neigh_gw6 based on the address family of the gateway.

Update the output paths in the VRF driver and core v4 code to use
ip_neigh_for_gw simplifying the family based lookup and making both
ready for a v6 nexthop.

ipv4_neigh_lookup has a different need - the potential to resolve a
passed in address in addition to any gateway in the rtable or skb. Since
this is a one-off, add ip_neigh_gw4 and ip_neigh_gw6 diectly. The
difference between __neigh_create used by the helpers and neigh_create
called by ipv4_neigh_lookup is taking a refcount, so add rcu_read_lock_bh
and bump the refcnt on the neigh entry.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
