Ritaro Takenaka 88b937673b netfilter: flowtable: move dst_check to packet path
[ Upstream commit 2738d9d963 ]

Fixes sporadic IPv6 packet loss when flow offloading is enabled.

IPv6 route GC and flowtable GC are not synchronized.
When dst_cache becomes stale and a packet passes through the flow before
the flowtable GC teardowns it, the packet can be dropped.
So, it is necessary to check dst every time in packet path.

Fixes: 227e1e4d0d ("netfilter: nf_flowtable: skip device lookup from interface index")
