Subject: [PATCH net] tcp: fix possible NULL dereference in
 tcp_vX_send_reset()

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

After commit ca777eff51f7 ("tcp: remove dst refcount false sharing for
prequeue mode") we have to relax check against skb dst in
tcp_v[46]_send_reset() if prequeue dropped the dst.

If a socket is provided, a full lookup was done to find this socket,
so the dst test can be skipped.
