Re: [RFC PATCH] sctp: Don't lookup dst if transport dst is still valid

When sctp sits on IPv6, sctp_transport_dst_check pass cookie as ZERO,
as a result ip6_dst_check always fail out. This behaviour makes
transport->dst useless, because every sctp_packet_transmit must look
for valid dst(Is this what supposed to be?)

One aggressive way is to call rt_genid_bump which invalid all dst to
make new dst for transport, apparently it also hurts others.
I'm sure this may not be the best for all, so any commnets?
