Subject: [PATCH net] ipv6: ip6_make_skb() needs to clear cork.base.dst

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

In my last patch, I missed fact that cork.base.dst was not initialized
in ip6_make_skb() :

If ip6_setup_cork() returns an error, we might attempt a dst_release()
on some random pointer.

Fixes: 862c03ee1deb ("ipv6: fix possible mem leaks in ipv6_make_skb()")
