When Tcp send RST packet in ipvs, crash occurs with the following
stack trace:

TCP connection timeout and send a RST packet, the skb is alloc
by alloc_skb, the pointer skb->dev and skb_dst(skb) is NULL,
however, ipv6 route unreach at that time, so go into err_unreach.
In err_unreach, crash occurs when skb->dev and skb_dst(skb) is NULL.

The code is added by the following patch:
commit 326bf17ea5d4 ("ipvs: fix ipv6 route unreach panic")
because the ip6_link_failure function requires the skb->dev
in icmp6_send with that version.

This patch only fix the problem in specific scene, and icmp6_send in
current version is robust against null skb->dev by adding the
following patch.
commit 8d9336704521
("ipv6: make icmp6_send() robust against null skb->dev")

So I delete the code, make __ip_vs_get_out_rt_v6() robust, when
skb->dev and skb_dst(skb) is NULL.
