[PATCH] ipv4: use dst with ref during bcast/mcast loopback
From: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg>

Make sure skb dst has reference when moving to another context. Currently, I don't see protocols that can hit it when sending broadcasts/multicasts to loopback using noref dsts, so it is just a precaution.
