Adjust route when looping multicast packets
Multicast packets are special in that their destination address does not
identify a specific interface. When sending out such a packet the multicast
address is the remote address, but for incoming packets it is the local
address. Hence, when looping a multicast packet, the route needs to be
tweaked to reflect this.
