[35/49] net: release dst entry while cache-hot for GSO case too

[Greg KH]

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Krishna Kumar <krkumar2@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 068a2de57ddf4f472e32e7af868613c574ad1d88 upstream.

Non-GSO code drops dst entry for performance reasons, but
the same is missing for GSO code. Drop dst while cache-hot
for GSO case too.
