David S. Miller 44713b67db ipv4: Optimize flow initialization in output route lookup.
We burn a lot of useless cycles, cpu store buffer traffic, and
memory operations memset()'ing the on-stack flow used to perform
output route lookups in __ip_route_output_key().

Only the first half of the flow object members even matter for
output route lookups in this context, specifically:

FIB rules matching cares about:

	dst, src, tos, iif, oif, mark

FIB trie lookup cares about:

	dst

FIB semantic match cares about:

	tos, scope, oif

Therefore only initialize these specific members and elide the
memset entirely.

On Niagara2 this kills about ~300 cycles from the output route
lookup path.

Likely, we can take things further, since all callers of output
route lookups essentially throw away the on-stack flow they use.
So they don't care if we use it as a scratch-pad to compute the
final flow key.
