[PATCH 09/14] ipv6: hand dst refs to cork setup

[Pavel Begunkov]

During cork->dst setup, ip6_make_skb() gets an additional reference to
a passed in dst. However, udpv6_sendmsg() doesn't need dst after calling
ip6_make_skb(), and so we can save two additional atomics by passing
dst references to ip6_make_skb(). udpv6_sendmsg() is the only caller, so
it's enough to make sure it doesn't use dst afterwards.
