Subject: [PATCH 3.18 52/52] ipv4: Make neigh lookup keys for loopback/point-to-point devices be INADDR_ANY

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jim Westfall <jwestfall@...realistic.net>


[ Upstream commit cd9ff4de0107c65d69d02253bb25d6db93c3dbc1 ]

Map all lookup neigh keys to INADDR_ANY for loopback/point-to-point devices
to avoid making an entry for every remote ip the device needs to talk to.

This used the be the old behavior but became broken in a263b3093641f
(ipv4: Make neigh lookups directly in output packet path) and later removed
in 0bb4087cbec0 (ipv4: Fix neigh lookup keying over loopback/point-to-point
devices) because it was broken.
