Make sure you backported commit

("udp: fix dst races with multicast early demux")

Oh, interesting. Looks like that patch didn't get CC'd to stable
though, is there a reason for that or just oversight?

All networking bug fixes are submitted to -stable by hand by me at a
time of my choosing.  We do not use the "CC: stable" facility, as I
feel it pushes patches into -stable way too quickly and before the
change gets sufficient exposure for regressions in Linus's tree.

The patch in question got submitted last night.

Great, thank you!
