Oscar Maes 1b8c5fa0cb net: ipv4: allow directed broadcast routes to use dst hint
Currently, ip_extract_route_hint uses RTN_BROADCAST to decide
whether to use the route dst hint mechanism.

This check is too strict, as it prevents directed broadcast
routes from using the hint, resulting in poor performance
during bursts of directed broadcast traffic.

Fix this in ip_extract_route_hint and modify ip_route_use_hint
to preserve the intended behaviour.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
