net-next: Fix IP_UNICAST_IF option behavior for connected sockets

The IP_UNICAST_IF socket option is used to set the outgoing interface
for outbound packets.

The IP_UNICAST_IF socket option was added as it was needed by the
Wine project, since no other existing option (SO_BINDTODEVICE socket
option, IP_PKTINFO socket option or the bind function) provided the
needed characteristics needed by the IP_UNICAST_IF socket option. [1]
The IP_UNICAST_IF socket option works well for unconnected sockets,
that is, the interface specified by the IP_UNICAST_IF socket option
is taken into consideration in the route lookup process when a packet
is being sent. However, for connected sockets, the outbound interface
is chosen when connecting the socket, and in the route lookup process
which is done when a packet is being sent, the interface specified by
the IP_UNICAST_IF socket option is being ignored.

This inconsistent behavior was reported and discussed in an issue
opened on systemd's GitHub project [2]. Also, a bug report was
submitted in the kernel's bugzilla [3].

To understand the problem in more detail, we can look at what happens
for UDP packets over IPv4 (The same analysis was done separately in
the referenced systemd issue).
When a UDP packet is sent the udp_sendmsg function gets called and
the following happens:

1. The oif member of the struct ipcm_cookie ipc (which stores the
output interface of the packet) is initialized by the ipcm_init_sk
function to inet->sk.sk_bound_dev_if (the device set by the
SO_BINDTODEVICE socket option).

2. If the IP_PKTINFO socket option was set, the oif member gets
overridden by the call to the ip_cmsg_send function.

3. If no output interface was selected yet, the interface specified
by the IP_UNICAST_IF socket option is used.

4. If the socket is connected and no destination address is
specified in the send function, the struct ipcm_cookie ipc is not
taken into consideration and the cached route, that was calculated in
the connect function is being used.

Thus, for a connected socket, the IP_UNICAST_IF sockopt isn't taken
into consideration.

This patch corrects the behavior of the IP_UNICAST_IF socket option
for connect()ed sockets by taking into consideration the
IP_UNICAST_IF sockopt when connecting the socket.

In order to avoid reconnecting the socket, this option is still
ignored when applied on an already connected socket until connect()
is called again by the Richard Gobert.

Change the __ip4_datagram_connect function, which is called during
socket connection, to take into consideration the interface set by
the IP_UNICAST_IF socket option, in a similar way to what is done in
the udp_sendmsg function.
