Subject: ipv6: ip6_make_skb() needs to clear cork.base.dst
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 95ef498d977bf44ac094778fd448b98af158a3e6 ]
In my last patch, I missed fact that cork.base.dst was not initialized
in ip6_make_skb() :
If ip6_setup_cork() returns an error, we might attempt a dst_release()
on some random pointer.
Fixes: 862c03ee1deb ("ipv6: fix possible mem leaks in ipv6_make_skb()")
