Subject: netfilter: conntrack: cache route for forwarded connections

... to avoid per-packet FIB lookup if possible.

The cached dst is re-used provided the input interface
is the same as that of the previous packet in the same direction.

If not, the cached dst is invalidated.

For ipv6 we also need to store sernum, else dst_check doesn't work,
pointed out by Eric Dumazet.

This should speed up forwarding when conntrack is already in use
anyway, especially when using reverse path filtering -- active RPF
enforces two FIB lookups for each packet.

Before the routing cache removal this didn't matter since RPF was performed
only when route cache didn't yield a result; but without route cache it
comes at higher price.

Julian Anastasov suggested to add NETDEV_UNREGISTER handler to
avoid holding on to dsts of 'frozen' conntracks.
