Subject: [PATCH] net: skb_set_dev do not unconditionally drop ref to dst

From: Frank Blaschka <frank.blaschka@...ibm.com>

commit 8a83a00b0735190384a348156837918271034144 unconditionally
drops dst reference when skb->dev is set. This causes a regression
with VLAN and the qeth_l3 network driver. qeth_l3 can not get gw
information from the skb coming from the vlan driver. It is only
valid to drop the dst in case of different name spaces.
