Well, your patch touches all the callers of ip6_update_pmtu() , if you just
fix ip6_sk_update_pmtu() as I suggested, you only need to change one
function, ideally. And the ipv4 code is there, although I am not sure, it
looks like we can just mimic the logic here:

diff --git a/net/ipv6/route.c b/net/ipv6/route.c
index ed44663..b88c2ff 100644

+       fl6.saddr = iph->saddr;
+       fl6.flowlabel = ip6_flowinfo(iph);

+
+       sk_dst_set(sk, &rt->dst);
+       bh_unlock_sock(sk);
+
+       dst_release(dst);
 }


Please don't judge me on the code, it could still miss a lot of things,
but it can show my idea...
