From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit 5925a0555bdaf0b396a84318cbc21ba085f6c0d3 upstream.

sk_dst_cache has __rcu annotation, so we need a cast to avoid
following sparse error :

include/net/sock.h:1774:19: warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces)
include/net/sock.h:1774:19:    expected struct dst_entry [noderef] <asn:4>*__ret
include/net/sock.h:1774:19:    got struct dst_entry *dst
