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

From: Pavel Begunkov
Date: Mon Jan 10 2022 - 20:25:45 EST


udpv6_sendmsg() doesn't need dst after calling into ip6_make_skb(),
however it still retains a ref and ip6_make_skb() has to do an addition
get/put pair. Hand over dst with the reference from
ip6_sk_dst_lookup_flow() to avoid two atomics.
