That is what appears to be happening.  Though I can do some more
research into this.

Yeah, I should probably fix IPv6 as well if there is an issue.

I was thinking about it last night and I am not certain we should even
see skb_dst(skb) set as Cong mentioned.  I'm wondering if I should
update the code to just use skb->dev because these functions are
currently only used in the GRO path anyway so it isn't as if skb_dst
should be populated.
