ipv4: not do cache for local delivery if bc_forwarding is enabled



[ Upstream commit 0a90478b93a46bdcd56ba33c37566a993e455d54 ]

With the topo:

    h1 ---| rp1            |
          |     route  rp3 |--- h3 (192.168.200.1)
    h2 ---| rp2            |

If rp1 bc_forwarding is set while rp2 bc_forwarding is not, after
doing "ping 192.168.200.255" on h1, then ping 192.168.200.255 on
h2, and the packets can still be forwared.

This issue was caused by the input route cache. It should only do
the cache for either bc forwarding or local delivery. Otherwise,
local delivery can use the route cache for bc forwarding of other
interfaces.

This patch is to fix it by not doing cache for local delivery if
all.bc_forwarding is enabled.

Note that we don't fix it by checking route cache local flag after
rt_cache_valid() in "local_input:" and "ip_mkroute_input", as the
common route code shouldn't be touched for bc_forwarding.

Fixes: 5cbf777c ("route: add support for directed broadcast forwarding")
