Subject[patch 48/69] IPV6: Do no rely on skb->dst before it is assigned.
-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------
From: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org>

Because skb->dst is assigned in ip6_route_input(), it is really
bad to use it in hop-by-hop option handler(s).

Closes: Bug #8450 (Eric Sesterhenn <snakebyte@gmx.de>)
