Re: [PATCH net-next] netfilter: Update ip_route_me_harder to consider L3 domain

ip_route_me_harder is not considering the L3 domain and sending lookups
to the wrong table. For example consider the following output rule:

iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 12345 -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset

using perf to analyze lookups via the fib_table_lookup tracepoint shows:

vrf-test  1187 [001] 46887.295927: fib:fib_table_lookup: table 255 oif 0 iif 0 src 0.0.0.0 dst 10.100.1.254 tos 0 scope 0 flags 0

Updating both lookups to pull the L3 domain from the dst currently
attached to the skb directs both lookups to the correct table.

Pablo: from a code review it seems ip_route_me_harder is only called in
       the output path and after skb_dst is set.

Correction: the 'output path' comment is wrong, but dst appears to always be set for both rx and tx paths.
