net: add a sysctl to reflect the fwmark on replies


Kernel-originated IP packets that have no user socket associated
with them (e.g., ICMP errors and echo replies, TCP RSTs, etc.)
are emitted with a mark of zero. Add a sysctl to make them have
the same mark as the packet they are replying to.

This allows an administrator that wishes to do so to use
mark-based routing, firewalling, etc. for these replies by
marking the original packets inbound.

Tested using user-mode linux:
 - ICMP/ICMPv6 echo replies and errors.
 - TCP RST packets (IPv4 and IPv6).
