When modifying IPv4 devconf values using netlink for some relevant
fields the rt_cache_flush() call was missing. In addition, if forwarding
is enabled on the interface then disable LRO.

This is needed to avoid possible connectivity issues and ease the
responsabilities of user space tools.

Fixes: 9f0f7272ac95 ("ipv4: AF_INET link address family")

This OTOH probably deserves to be a real fix for net?
Okay, makes sense. Let me re-send this to net.git without relying on the
previous patch. Then once is merged and net-next is synced I will
re-send the validation one.
I could be wrong, but FWIW in this case I think the changes won't
conflict, so you could also post them at once against different trees.
I already posted the change against net tree. Will post the one for 
net-next later after some testing.

Thank you Jakub for all the feedback,
Fernando.
