[PATCH 2/2 net-next v2] ipv4: bump rt_genid when a relevant devconf value changes through netlink

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

When modifying IPv4 devconf values using netlink for some relevant
fields the rt_cache_flush() call was missing. In addition, if forwarding
is enabled on the interface then disable LRO.

This is needed to avoid possible connectivity issues and ease the
responsabilities of user space tools.

Fixes: 9f0f7272ac95 ("ipv4: AF_INET link address family")

v2: use netif_disable_lro() as we already hold netdev_need_ops_lock()
and use net_device struct passed as argument instead of using in_dev->dev
