ipv4: Avoid using RTO_ONLINK with ip_route_connect().



Now that ip_rt_fix_tos() doesn't reset ->flowi4_scope unconditionally,
we don't have to rely on the RTO_ONLINK bit to properly set the scope
of a flowi4 structure. We can just set ->flowi4_scope explicitly and
avoid using RTO_ONLINK in ->flowi4_tos.

This patch converts callers of ip_route_connect(). Instead of setting
the tos parameter with RT_CONN_FLAGS(sk), as all callers do, we can:

  1- Drop the tos parameter from ip_route_connect(): its value was
     entirely based on sk, which is also passed as parameter.

  2- Set ->flowi4_scope depending on the SOCK_LOCALROUTE socket option
     instead of always initialising it with RT_SCOPE_UNIVERSE (let's
     define ip_sock_rt_scope() for this purpose).

  3- Avoid overloading ->flowi4_tos with RTO_ONLINK: since the scope is
     now properly initialised, we don't need to tell ip_rt_fix_tos() to
     adjust ->flowi4_scope for us. So let's define ip_sock_rt_tos(),
     which is the same as RT_CONN_FLAGS() but without the RTO_ONLINK
     bit overload.

Note:
  In the original ip_route_connect() code, __ip_route_output_key()
  might clear the RTO_ONLINK bit of fl4->flowi4_tos (because of
  ip_rt_fix_tos()). Therefore flowi4_update_output() had to reuse the
  original tos variable. Now that we don't set RTO_ONLINK any more,
  this is not a problem and we can use fl4->flowi4_tos in
  flowi4_update_output().
