Subject: ipv4: fix broadcast packets reception
From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit ad0ea1989cc4d5905941d0a9e62c63ad6d859cef ]
Currently, ingress ipv4 broadcast datagrams are dropped since,
in udp_v4_early_demux(), ip_check_mc_rcu() is invoked even on
bcast packets.
This patch addresses the issue, invoking ip_check_mc_rcu()
only for mcast packets.
