[PATCH 1/3 net-next v4] ipv4: centralize devconf sysctl handling

[Fernando Fernandez Mancera <fmancera@suse.de>]

The logic for handling IPv4 devconf sysctls is scattered. Notification
and cache flushes are managed in devinet_conf_proc(), while a separate
ipv4_doint_and_flush() function and DEVINET_SYSCTL_FLUSHING_ENTRY macro
is used for properties that solely require a cache flush.

This patch refactors the sysctl handling by introducing a centralized
helper, devinet_conf_post_set(). This new function evaluates the changed
attribute and handles all necessary operations like triggering netlink
notifications. It returns a boolean indicating whether a routing cache
flush is required.

Note that the boolean is necessary as this function will be re-used for
netlink IPv4 devconf handling where the cache flushing must wait until
all the attributes have been processed.

Finally, this is introducing a small change in behavior for
IPV4_DEVCONF_ROUTE_LOCALNET. As commit d0daebc3d622 ("ipv4: Add
interface option to enable routing of 127.0.0.0/8") intended, the cache
flush should only be performed when ROUTE_LOCALNET changes from 1 to 0.
Unfortunately, this was not true because while implementing it the
DEVINET_SYSCTL_FLUSHING_ENTRY was used for the attribute, making the
code related to it on devinet_conf_proc() dead.

IPV4_DEVCONF_FORWARDING is still being handled separately as it requires
more operations.
