Subject: dynamically allocated dst_ops

They are bogus and should be implanted into struct net directly.
In garbage collector hook, just use container_of() (once) to get struct net.
->dst_net is useless after that.

I'm going to use this trick for xfrm.

And if someone has ideas on how to overcome header difficulties, please,
submit a patch.
