This part looks essentially like a revert of earlier commit befb92542439
("ipv6: check skb->protocol before lookup for nexthop", mainline
199ab00f3cdb). Is it possible that it comes from an incorrect resolution
of the conflict caused by these two being backported in opposite order
(befb92542439 < b8c7f80cbdcd) than the original mainline commits
(607f725f6f7d < 199ab00f3cdb)?
