This is not necessarily true with lwtunnels (collect_md mode of VXLAN
and GENEVE). While any sane setup will use the same dst ports, there's
really nothing that enforces it. Of course, in that case we have no way
to map the ICMP error back to the tunnel.

Generally speaking, I'm not sure how ICMP error handling should work
for external control planes. Are we sure they want PMTU discovery and
route redirection done by the kernel? (I am not sure, neither way.)
