RDMA/core: Use route entry flag to decide on loopback traffic

Browse source

addr_resolve() considers a destination to be local if the next-hop
device of the resolved route for the destination is the loopback
netdevice.

This fails when the source and destination IP addresses belong to
a netdev enslaved to a VRF netdev. In this case the next-hop device
is the VRF itself:

 $ ip link add name myvrf up type vrf table 100
 $ ip link set ens2f0np0 master myvrf up
 $ ip addr add 192.168.1.1/24 dev ens2f0np0
 $ ip route get 192.168.1.1 oif myvrf
 local 192.168.1.1 dev myvrf table 100 src 192.168.1.1 uid 0
    cache <local>

This results in packets being generated with an incorrect destination
MAC of the VRF netdevice and ib_write_bw failing with timeout.

Solve this by determining if a destination is local or not based on
the resolved route's type rather than based on its next-hop netdevice
loopback flag.

This enables to resolve loopback traffic with and without VRF
configurations in a uniform way.
