net 04/05: fib_rules: allow to delete local rule

    net: fib_rules: allow to delete local rule

    Allow to delete the local rule and recreate it with a higher priority. This
    can be used to force packets with a local destination out on the wire instead
    of routing them to loopback. Additionally this patch allows to recreate rules
    with a priority of 0.

    Combined with the previous patch to allow oif classification, a socket can
    be bound to the desired interface and packets routed to the wire like this:

    # move local rule to lower priority
    ip rule add pref 1000 lookup local
    ip rule del pref 0

    # route packets of sockets bound to eth0 to the wire independant
    # of the destination address
    ip rule add pref 100 oif eth0 lookup 100
    ip route add default dev eth0 table 100
