Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: Optimize flow initialization in input route lookup.


Like in commit 44713b67db10c774f14280c129b0d5fd13c70cf2
("ipv4: Optimize flow initialization in output route lookup."
we can optimize the on-stack flow setup to only initialize
the members which are actually used.

Otherwise we bzero the entire structure, then initialize
explicitly the first half of it.
