[IPV4]: Add 'rtable' field in struct sk_buff to alias 'dst' and avoid casts

Browse Source 
(Anonymous) unions can help us to avoid ugly casts.

A common cast it the (struct rtable *)skb->dst one.

Defining an union like  :
union {
     struct dst_entry *dst;
     struct rtable *rtable;
};
permits to use skb->rtable in place.
