ipv4: Create and use fib_compute_spec_dst() helper.
The specific destination is the host we direct unicast replies to. Usually this is the original packet source address, but if we are responding to a multicast or broadcast packet we have to use something different. Specifically we must use the source address we would use if we were to send a packet to the unicast source of the original packet. The routing cache precomputes this value, but we want to remove that precomputation because it creates a hard dependency on the expensive rpfilter source address validation which we'd like to make cheaper. There are only three places where this matters: 1) ICMP replies. 2) pktinfo CMSG 3) IP options Now there will be no real users of rt->rt_spec_dst and we can simply remove it altogether.
