If icmp_send is changed to use inet_addr_type() then ICMP will leave
with saddr != VIP and that is not nice.

I'm not familiar with the IPVS terms, but as far as I understand,
it is _not_ going to return RTN_LOCAL, so we get the desired
behaviour of selecting a local address as source.
But what is preferred is to use VIP in ICMP.
ip route add local VIP dev lo table user_defined
returns RTCF_LOCAL but inet_addr_type() does not return RTN_LOCAL,
we fix one thing but break another :)
Well, I have promissed you to give some feedback after I test the patch
proposed by Patrick, but after Julian's post I can only confirm that it
works exactly as Julian said, what is not what I would expect.
Julian, thank you for your detailed explanation of the issue, I have
nothing more to add.
