icmp: fix icmp_ndo_send address translation for reply direction
The icmp_ndo_send function was originally introduced to ensure proper
rate limiting when icmp_send is called by a network device driver,
where the packet's source address may have already been transformed
by SNAT.
However, the original implementation only considers the
IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL direction for SNAT and always replaced the packet's
source address with that of the original-direction tuple. This causes
two problems:
1. For SNAT:
Reply-direction packets were incorrectly translated using the source
address of the CT original direction, even though no translation is
required.
2. For DNAT:
Reply-direction packets were not handled at all. In DNAT, the original
direction's destination is translated. Therefore, in the reply
direction the source address must be set to the reply-direction
source, so rate limiting works as intended.
Fix this by using the connection direction to select the correct tuple
for source address translation, and adjust the pre-checks to handle
reply-direction packets in case of DNAT.
Additionally, wrap the `ct->status` access in READ_ONCE(). This avoids
possible KCSAN reports about concurrent updates to `ct->status`.
Fixes: 0b41713 ("icmp: introduce helper for nat'd source address in network device context")
