ipv4: Cache learned PMTU information in inetpeer.
The general idea is that if we learn new PMTU information, we
bump the peer genid.
This triggers the dst_ops->check() code to validate and if
necessary propagate the new PMTU value into the metrics.
Learned PMTU information self-expires.
This means that it is not necessary to kill a cached route
entry just because the PMTU information is too old.
As a consequence:
1) When the path appears unreachable (dst_ops->link_failure
or dst_ops->negative_advice) we unwind the PMTU state if
it is out of date, instead of killing the cached route.
A redirected route will still be invalidated in these
situations.
2) rt_check_expire(), rt_worker_func(), et al. are no longer
necessary at all.
