    ipv4: Fix erroneous uses of ifa_address. · 6c91afe1
    David S. Miller authored
    In usual cases ifa_address == ifa_local, but in the case where
    SIOCSIFDSTADDR sets the destination address on a point-to-point
    link, ifa_address gets set to that destination address.
    
    Therefore we should use ifa_local when we want the local interface
    address.
    
    There were two cases where the selection was done incorrectly:
    
    1) When devinet_ioctl() does matching, it checks ifa_address even
       though gifconf correct reported ifa_local to the user
    
    2) IN_DEV_ARP_NOTIFY handling sends a gratuitous ARP using
       ifa_address instead of ifa_local.
