ipv4: use next hop exceptions also for input routes
Commit d2d68ba9 (ipv4: Cache input routes in fib_info nexthops) assmued that "locally destined, and routed packets, never trigger PMTU events or redirects that will be processed by us". However, it seems that tunnel devices do trigger PMTU events in certain cases. At least ip_gre, ip6_gre, sit, and ipip do use the inner flow's skb_dst(skb)->ops->update_pmtu to propage mtu information from the outer flows. These can cause the inner flow mtu to be decreased. If next hop exceptions are not consulted for pmtu, IP fragmentation will not be done properly for these routes. It also seems that we really need to have the PMTU information always for netfilter TCPMSS clamp-to-pmtu feature to work properly. So for the time being, cache separate copies of input routes for each next hop exception.
