bonding: symmetric ICMP transmit
A bonding with layer2+3 or layer3+4 hashing uses the IP addresses and the ports
to balance packets between slaves. With some network errors, we receive an ICMP
error packet by the remote host or a router. If sent by a router, the source IP
can differ from the remote host one. Additionally the ICMP protocol has no port
numbers, so a layer3+4 bonding will get a different hash than the previous one.
These two conditions could let the packet go through a different interface than
the other packets of the same flow:

An ICMP error packet contains the header of the packet which caused the network
error, so inspect it and match the flow against it, so we can send the ICMP via
the same interface of the previous packet in the flow.
Move the IP and port dissect code into a generic function bond_flow_ip() and if
we are dissecting an ICMP error packet, call it again with the adjusted offset.
