Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: use daddr to get inet_peer

since commit 1d861aa4("inet: Minimize use of cached route inetpeer"),
ip_error() uses saddr to get inet_peer, so ip_error() and icmpv4_xrlim_allow()
use the same inet_peer to limit icmp error message twice.

In ip_error(), peer->rate_tokens is set to ip_rt_error_burst, but in
inet_peer_xrlim_allow() peer->rate_tokens is set to XRLIM_BURST_FACTOR.
XRLIM_BURST_FACTOR is defined to 6, so user seting ip_rt_error_burst makes
no sense.

In my opinion, the ip_rt_error_burst is used to limit icmp error messages
for daddr instead of saddr.
