Subject: [PATCH] tcp: incoming connections might use wrong route under
 synflood

There is a bug in cookie_v4_check (net/ipv4/syncookies.c):
	flowi4_init_output(&fl4, 0, sk->sk_mark, RT_CONN_FLAGS(sk),
			   RT_SCOPE_UNIVERSE, IPPROTO_TCP,
			   inet_sk_flowi_flags(sk),
			   (opt && opt->srr) ? opt->faddr : ireq->rmt_addr,
			   ireq->loc_addr, th->source, th->dest);

Here we do not respect sk->sk_bound_dev_if, therefore wrong dst_entry may be taken. This dst_entry is used in new socket (get_cookie_sock -> tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock), so its packets may take wrong path. There is no such bug in ipv6 code and non-cookie code (usual case). Bugfix below.
