net: ipv4: add support for ECMP hash policy choice
This patch adds support for ECMP hash policy choice via a new sysctl called fib_multipath_hash_policy and also adds support for L4 hashes. The current values for fib_multipath_hash_policy are: 0 - layer 3 (default) 1 - layer 4 If there's an skb hash already set and it matches the chosen policy then it will be used instead of being calculated (currently only for L4). In L3 mode we always calculate the hash due to the ICMP error special case, the flow dissector's field consistentification should handle the address order thus we can remove the address reversals. If the skb is provided we always use it for the hash calculation, otherwise we fallback to fl4, that is if skb is NULL fl4 has to be set.
