    Even with icmp_errors_use_inbound_ifaddr set, traceroute returns the
    primary address of the interface the packet was received on, even if
    the path goes through a secondary address. In the example:
    
                        1.0.3.1/24
     ---- 1.0.1.3/24    1.0.1.1/24 ---- 1.0.2.1/24    1.0.2.4/24 ----
     |H1|--------------------------|R1|--------------------------|H2|
     ----            N1            ----            N2            ----
    
    where 1.0.3.1/24 is R1's primary address on N1, traceroute from
    H1 to H2 returns:
    
    traceroute to 1.0.2.4 (1.0.2.4), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
     1  1.0.3.1 (1.0.3.1)  0.018 ms  0.006 ms  0.006 ms
     2  1.0.2.4 (1.0.2.4)  0.021 ms  0.007 ms  0.007 ms
    
    After applying this patch, it returns:
    
    traceroute to 1.0.2.4 (1.0.2.4), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
     1  1.0.1.1 (1.0.1.1)  0.033 ms  0.007 ms  0.006 ms
     2  1.0.2.4 (1.0.2.4)  0.011 ms  0.007 ms  0.007 ms
