TCP v6 spends a good amount of time rebuilding a fresh fl6 at each transmit in inet6_csk_xmit()/inet6_csk_route_socket(). TCP v4 caches the information in inet->cork.fl.u.ip4 instead. This patch is a first step converting IPv6 to the same strategy: Before this patch inet6_sk_rebuild_header() only validated/rebuilt a dst. Automatic variable @fl6 content was lost. After this patch inet6_sk_rebuild_header() also initializes inet->cork.fl.u.ip6, which can be reused in the future. This makes inet6_sk_rebuild_header() very similar to inet_sk_rebuild_header(). Also remove the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(), inet6_sk_rebuild_header() is not called from any module.
