Subject: [PATCH 3.8 075/121] ipv4: initialise the itag variable in __mkroute_input

3.8.13.24 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Li RongQing <roy.qing.li@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit fbdc0ad095c0a299e9abf5d8ac8f58374951149a ]

the value of itag is a random value from stack, and may not be initiated by
fib_validate_source, which called fib_combine_itag if CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_CLASSID
is not set

This will make the cached dst uncertainty
