ipv4: Don't allocate ifa for 0.0.0.0 in inet_rtm_newaddr().

When we pass 0.0.0.0 to __inet_insert_ifa(), it frees ifa and returns 0.

We can do this check much earlier for RTM_NEWADDR even before allocating
struct in_ifaddr.

Let's move the validation to

  1. inet_insert_ifa() for ioctl()
  2. inet_rtm_newaddr() for RTM_NEWADDR

Now, we can remove the same check in find_matching_ifa().
