Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: Cache ip_error() routes even when not forwarding.

And account for the fact that, when we are not forwarding, we should
bump statistic counters rather than emit an ICMP response.

RP-filter rejected lookups are still not cached.

Since -EHOSTUNREACH and -ENETUNREACH can now no longer be seen in
ip_rcv_finish(), remove those checks.

It seems pretty clear to me that we should cache things consistently
regardless of whether we are forwarding on an interface or not.

I noticed this while monitoring the routing cache the other day.  If
you have some misconfigured host on your network (as I did :-), this
change increases diagnosability because you'll be able to see the
reject routes in /proc/net/rt_cache with the specific IPs involved.

It was actually a surprise to me that we do not cache RP-filtered
lookups.  It's probably a toss-up whether caching or not caching these
is better or not.  So I haven't touched that case for now.  If we do
start to cache those, it will be nice in that we can streamline the
logic of ip_rcv_finish() completely by removing all the special error
code checks and counter bumps.  Only the -EXDEV RP-filter one remains.
