zebra: set connected route metric based on the devaddr metric
MACVLAN devices are typically used for applications such as VRR/VRRP that
require a second MAC address (virtual). These devices have a corresponding
SVI/VLAN device -
root@TORC11:~# ip addr show vlan1002
39: vlan1002@bridge: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9152 qdisc noqueue master vrf1 state UP group default
    link/ether 00:02:00:00:00:2e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet6 2001:aa:1::2/64 scope global
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
root@TORC11:~# ip addr show vlan1002-v0
40: vlan1002-v0@vlan1002: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9152 qdisc noqueue master vrf1 state UP group default
    link/ether 00:00:5e:00:01:01 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet6 2001:aa:1::a/64 metric 1024 scope global
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
root@TORC11:~#
The macvlan device is used primarily for RX (VR-IP/VR-MAC). And TX is via
the SVI. To acheive that functionality the macvlan network's metric
is set to a higher value.
Zebra currently ignores the devaddr metric sent by the kernel and hardcodes
it to 0. This commit eliminates that hardcoding. If the devaddr metric
is available (METRIC_MAX) it is used for setting up the connected route
otherwise we fallback to the dev/interface metric.
Setting the macvlan metric to a higher value ensures that zebra will always
select the connected route on the SVI (and subsequently use it for next hop
resolution etc.) -
