When ip_output()/ip6_output() is supplied a struct route *ro argument,

it skips FLOWTABLE lookup. However, the non-NULL ro has dual meaning
here: it may be supplied to provide route, and it may be supplied to
store and return to caller the route that ip_output()/ip6_output()
finds. In the latter case skipping FLOWTABLE lookup is pessimisation.

The difference between struct route filled by FLOWTABLE and filled
by rtalloc() family is that the former doesn't hold a reference on
its rtentry. Reference is hold by flow entry, and it is about to
be released in future. Thus, route filled by FLOWTABLE shouldn't
be passed to RTFREE() macro.

- Introduce new flag for struct route/route_in6, that marks route
  not holding a reference on rtentry.
- Introduce new macro RO_RTFREE() that cleans up a struct route
  depending on its kind.
- All callers to ip_output()/ip6_output() that do supply non-NULL
  but empty route should use RO_RTFREE() to free results of
  lookup.
- ip_output()/ip6_output() now do FLOWTABLE lookup always when
  ro->ro_rt == NULL.
