Quickly browsing, synproxy and tee also calls ip_local_out() too.

icmp_send() which is used, eg. to send destination unreachable too to
reset.

There is also __skb_get_hash_symmetric() that could hit this from
nft_hash?

No idea what more callers need to be adjusted to remove this splat,
that was a cursory tree review.

And ip_output() sets on skb->dev from postrouting path, then if
callers are fixed, then skb->dev would be once then again from output path?
