Subject: [18/70] bridge: Fix possibly wrong MLD queries ethernet source address

2.6.38-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------


From: Linus Lüssing <linus.luessing@....de>

[ Upstream commit a7bff75b087e7a355838a32efe61707cfa73c194 ]

The ipv6_dev_get_saddr() is currently called with an uninitialized
destination address. Although in tests it usually seemed to nevertheless
always fetch the right source address, there seems to be a possible race
condition.

Therefore this commit changes this, first setting the destination
address and only after that fetching the source address.
