ipv4: Fix erroneous uses of ifa_address.
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.
