Summary

Currently we have only undocumented ability to set different FIB number for packets that tunneling interfaces encapsulate. It can be done on interface cloning with setfib(1):

# setfib 1 ifconfig gre0 create

To change FIB number we should recreate interface. And it seems there is no way to determine the configured value.
This patch add SIOCGTUNFIB and SIOCSTUNFIB ioctls to get and set FIB number via ifconfig(8). Also it add support of these ioctls to gre(4), gif(4) and me(4) interfaces.
Also there are two similar fixes for gre(4) and me(4) - use if_fib value from ifnet structure to set FIB number for incoming packets.

Test Plan

This is example demonstrates how to configure GRE tunnel with the same inner and outer addresses:

# sysctl net | grep fibs
net.add_addr_allfibs: 0
net.fibs: 2
# route add 10.9.8.0/24 -fib 1 -iface em0
# ifconfig gre0 create inet 10.9.8.11 10.9.8.3 tunnel 10.9.8.11 10.9.8.3 tunnelfib 1
# ifconfig gre0
gre0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1476
	tunnel inet 10.9.8.3 --> 10.9.8.11
	inet 10.9.8.3 --> 10.9.8.11 netmask 0xff000000 
	inet6 fe80::f2de:f1ff:fecb:5415%gre0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x7 
	nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
	tunnelfib: 1
	groups: gre
