ipv4: do not cache looped multicasts
Starting from 3.6 we cache output routes for multicasts only when using route to 224/4. For local receivers we can set RTCF_LOCAL flag depending on the membership but in such case we use maddr and saddr which are not caching keys as before. Additionally, we can not use same place to cache routes that differ in RTCF_LOCAL flag value. Fix it by caching only RTCF_MULTICAST entries without RTCF_LOCAL (send-only, no loopback). As a side effect, we avoid unneeded lookup for fnhe when not caching because multicasts are not redirected and they do not learn PMTU. Thanks to Maxime Bizon for showing the caching problems in __mkroute_output for 3.6 kernels: different RTCF_LOCAL flag in cache can lead to wrong ip_mc_output or ip_output call and the visible problem is that traffic can not reach local receivers via loopback.
