ipv4: Fix erroneous uses of ifa_address.

Browse Source 
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.
