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.
