Set scope automatically in ip_route_output_ports() (using the socket SOCK_LOCALROUTE flag). This way, callers don't have to overload the tos with the RTO_ONLINK flag, like RT_CONN_FLAGS() does. For callers that don't pass a struct sock, this doesn't change anything as the scope is still set to RT_SCOPE_UNIVERSE when sk is NULL. Callers that passed a struct sock and used RT_CONN_FLAGS(sk) or RT_CONN_FLAGS_TOS(sk, tos) for the tos are modified to use ip_sock_tos(sk) and RT_TOS(tos) respectively, as overloading tos with the RTO_ONLINK flag now becomes unnecessary. In drivers/net/amt.c, all ip_route_output_ports() calls use a 0 tos parameter, ignoring the SOCK_LOCALROUTE flag of the socket. But the sk parameter is a kernel socket, which doesn't have any configuration path for setting SOCK_LOCALROUTE anyway. Therefore, ip_route_output_ports() will continue to initialise scope with RT_SCOPE_UNIVERSE and amt.c doesn't need to be modified. Also, remove RT_CONN_FLAGS() and RT_CONN_FLAGS_TOS() from route.h as these macros are now unused. The objective is to eventually remove RTO_ONLINK entirely to allow converting ->flowi4_tos to dscp_t. This will ensure proper isolation between the DSCP and ECN bits, thus minimising the risk of introducing bugs where TOS values interfere with ECN.

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 Restructured Text 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.
