This patch fixes a couple problems with vxlan. 1) Improper check of NUD_PERMANENT makes permanent forwarding table entries timeout too. 2) Check for "0.0.0.0" as gaddr and allow to mean "no group". The iproute2 patch sends gaddr even if not specified, which fails the IN_MULTICAST() test. This patch allows static-only forwarding and dropping everything else.

The first is a bug, the second doesn't need to be fixed in the kernel. I change iproute to not sent group address unless it is defined. The plan is to add IPV6 support, in which case group address could be IPV6.
