[IPV4]: ip_route_input panic fix
This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6388 The bug is caused by ip_route_input dereferencing skb->nh.protocol of the dummy skb passed dow from inet_rtm_getroute (Thanks Thomas for seeing it). It only happens if the route requested is for a multicast IP address. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
