And why shouldn't RS and redirects get this treatment too?

And then, at that point, all callers of ndisc_send_skb() have this
early route lookup code (and thus the "!dst" code path is unused), and
the question ultimately becomes why doesn't ndisc_send_skb() itself
have the dst lookup modification?

I'm not too sure about this change and will not apply it.
