ipv6: change inet6_sk_rebuild_header() to use inet->cork.fl.u.ip6

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.
