> If a non local multicast packet reaches ip_route_input_rcu() while
> the ingress device is NULL, we end up doing a NULL pointer
> dereference in IN_DEV_MFORWARD().
> 
> Since the later call to ip_route_input_mc() is going to fail if
> !in_dev, we can fail early in such scenario and avoid the dangerous
