net: pass dst via net_device_path in dev_fill_forward_path()
Add dst_entry to tunnel device path, this will allow us to remove
a duplicated route lookup.
This is a preparation patch to retrieve the tunnel route directly
from the .fill_forward_path. This new dst_entry in the tunnel will be
used by a follow up patch.
Since dst_release() works fine on NULL interface, this is still
noop until the flowtable starts using this.
Add a new dev_fill_forward_path_release() function to drop the refcount
on the tunnel device route and use it in case of error out. Export it so
to drop the refcount on the tunnel route at a later stage.
Adjust existing drivers that recycle dev_fill_forward_path() to call
dev_fill_forward_path_release() for safety reasons.
