Here is the fix, thanks again !

[PATCH] ipv4: fix a route regression

commit 813b3b5db83 (ipv4: Use caller's on-stack flowi as-is in output
route lookups.) added a regression.

Some callers of ip_route_output_slow() assumed their flow argument was
constant.

ip_route_output_slow() must leave with original content of various
fields.

Thanks to Yurij M. Plotnikov for providing a bug report including a
program to reproduce the problem.
