Stable needs these two follow on patches. To prevent crash when
receiving packet with IP record route options.

    bridge: reset IPCB in br_parse_ip_options
    
    Commit 462fb2af9788a82 (bridge : Sanitize skb before it enters the IP
    stack), missed one IPCB init before calling ip_options_compile()
    
    Thanks to Scot Doyle for his tests and bug reports.

    ip: ip_options_compile() resilient to NULL skb route
    
    Scot Doyle demonstrated ip_options_compile() could be called with an skb
    without an attached route, using a setup involving a bridge, netfilter,
    and forged IP packets.
    
    Let's make ip_options_compile() and ip_options_rcv_srr() a bit more
    robust, instead of changing bridge/netfilter code.
    
    With help from Hiroaki SHIMODA.
