I got to the bottom on the sk_rx_dst caching -- it is only a problem on
older kernels (e.g., our 4.1 kernels) and only with multicast udp
sockets. The early demux code in 4.1 is matching a listen socket when it
should not. The early demux code for mcast had some changes unrelated to
false matching that fixed the problem.
