Subject: BUG with ipv6 jumbo frames over loopback

Hi,

with the double skb_free() issue fixed, I ran some more ip6sic
tests, after a while i hit the following:

[  346.953000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt


It looks like packets coming via the loopback interface dont have
skb->dst set, therefore we crash in ipv6_hop_jumbo() in exthdrs.c
doing:

IP6_INC_STATS_BH(ip6_dst_idev(skb->dst), IPSTATS_MIB_INHDRERRORS);

the ip6_dst_idev() call dereferences skb->dst which is not set, causing
the oops and hardlocking the box.

The obvious fix would be to make ip6_dst_idev() return NULL if the
parameter is NULL, since IP6_INC_STATS_BH() can handle a NULL argument,
but not sure if this would be correct.

To reproduce use: ip6sic -i lo -d ::1 -p 100000 -r 4959
it should crash at 92.4%, i was unable to capture the stuff, since the
box locks up hard, if i find a faster testcase I'll let you know.

Greetings, Eric
