With all the users of the double pointers removed, this patch mops up by
finally replacing all occurances of sk_buff ** in the netfilter API by
sk_buff *.

This patch replaces unnecessary uses of skb_copy, pskb_copy and
skb_realloc_headroom by functions such as skb_make_writable and
pskb_expand_head.

This allows us to remove the double pointers later.

Packets generated by the REJECT target in the output chain have a local
destination address and a foreign source address. Make sure not to use
the foreign source address for the output route lookup.

<title>[NET]: Rethink mark field in struct flowi</title>

Now that all protocols have been made aware of the mark
field it can be moved out of the union thus simplyfing
its usage.

The config options in the IPv4/IPv6/DECnet subsystems
to enable respectively disable mark based routing only
obfuscate the code with ifdefs, the cost for the
additional comparison in the flow key is insignificant,
and most distributions have all these options enabled
by default anyway. Therefore it makes sense to remove
the config options and enable mark based routing by
default.

nfmark is being used in various subsystems and has become
the defacto mark field for all kinds of packets. Therefore
it makes sense to rename it to `mark' and remove the
dependency on CONFIG_NETFILTER.

<title>[NETFILTER]: add type parameter to ip_route_me_harder</title>

By adding a type parameter to ip_route_me_harder() the
expensive call to inet_addr_type() can be avoided in some cases.
A followup patch where ip_route_me_harder() is called from within
ip_vs_out() is one such example.
