Subject: [101/107] ipv4: fix multicast losses

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

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


From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 9aa3c94ce59066f545521033007abb6441706068 ]

Knut Tidemann found that first packet of a multicast flow was not
correctly received, and bisected the regression to commit b23dd4fe42b4
(Make output route lookup return rtable directly.)

Special thanks to Knut, who provided a very nice bug report, including
sample programs to demonstrate the bug.
