Subject: [RFC PATCH] NET: Clone the sk_buff->iif field properly

When sk_buffs are cloned the iif field of the new, cloned packet is neither
zeroed out or copied from the existing sk_buff.  The result is that the newly
cloned sk_buff has garbage in the iif field which is a Bad Thing.  This patch
fixes this problem by copying the iif field along with the other sk_buff
critical fields in __copy_skb_header().

This patch is needed by some of the labeled networking changes proposed for
2.6.25, does anyone have any objections?
