Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6] ipv6: syncookies: do not skip ->iif initialization

When syncookies are in effect, req->iif is left uninitialized.
In case of e.g. link-local addresses the route lookup then fails
and no syn-ack is sent.

Rearrange things so ->iif is also initialized in the syncookie case.

want_cookie can only be true when the isn was zero, thus move the want_cookie
check into the "!isn" branch.
