skb_dst_set will use dst, if dst is NULL although is not a problem, then goto the 'no_route' and free nskb, so do the skb_dst_set is pointless. so move the skb_dst_set after dst check. Remove the unnecessary initialization as well. v2: fix the subject line because it would confuse people, as pointed out by Daniel.
