[RFC PATCH v4 02/14] selinux: Better local/forward check in selinux_ip_postroute()

[Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com>]

It turns out that checking to see if skb->sk is NULL is not a very good
indicator of a forwarded packet as some locally generated packets also have
skb->sk set to NULL.  Fix this by not only checking the skb->sk field but also
the IP[6]CB(skb)->flags field for the IP[6]SKB_FORWARDED flag.
