	Note that your patch is corrupted here. May be the
email client wraps long lines. I guess Documentation/email-clients.txt
has instructions for your email client how to send patches
without modifying them. You can also test it yourself before
sending PATCHv2:

scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict /tmp/ttl1.diff

or

patch -p1 --dry-run < /tmp/ttl1.diff

	Better such change not to be part of this patch.
If you want to remove this call it should happen in
separate patch.

	This place is correct. But there is one problem.
When __ip_vs_get_out_rt is called, it is because dest (the real
server) is v4 but we can actually forward IPv6 datagram as indicated
by skb_af.

	This exception can happen only for TUN where we support v4-in-v6
and v6-in-v4 tunnels. So, we have to create new function just like
ensure_mtu_is_adequate where we have to work based on skb_af.
We can hide there the ttl check, the skb_make_writable call and
the ttl decrease. skb_af indicates what kind of outer IP header
we have before processing. The new function will include handling
for both skb_af families just like it is done in ensure_mtu_is_adequate.
We will call it from this place.

	For the new function.

	We will call the same new function here.

	We have to keep this call because our skb_make_writable
in the new function happens only for local=0 while above call
is still needed for the local=1 case.

	Ditto, we have to keep it.

	May be we have to keep this skb_make_writable in the
case of ICMP because the calling function calculates 'offset'
to include many headers while our new skb_make_writable will
cover only outer IP header. It is needed also for the local=1
case.
