[PATCH 1/7] net: Add helper flowi4_init_output().

[David Miller <davem@davemloft.net>]

On-stack initialization via assignment of flow structures are
expensive because GCC emits a memset() to clear the entire
structure out no matter what.

Add a helper for ipv4 output flow key setup which we can use to avoid
the memset.
