    ipv4: Add fib_nh_common to fib_result · eba618ab
    David Ahern authored
    Most of the ipv4 code only needs data from fib_nh_common. Add
    fib_nh_common selection to fib_result and update users to use it.
    
    Right now, fib_nh_common in fib_result will point to a fib_nh struct
    that is embedded within a fib_info:
    
            fib_info  --> fib_nh
                          fib_nh
                          ...
                          fib_nh
                            ^
        fib_result->nhc ----+
    
    Later, nhc can point to a fib_nh within a nexthop struct:
    
            fib_info --> nexthop --> fib_nh
                                       ^
        fib_result->nhc ---------------+
    
    or for a nexthop group:
    
            fib_info --> nexthop --> nexthop --> fib_nh
                                     nexthop --> fib_nh
                                     ...
                                     nexthop --> fib_nh
                                                   ^
        fib_result->nhc ---------------------------+
    
    In all cases nhsel within fib_result will point to which leg in the
    multipath route is used.
