[PATCH 3.16 339/370] ip6_tunnel: disable caching when the traffic class is inherited

[Ben Hutchings]

3.16.42-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit b5c2d49544e5930c96e2632a7eece3f4325a1888 ]

If an ip6 tunnel is configured to inherit the traffic class from
the inner header, the dst_cache must be disabled or it will foul
the policy routing.

The issue is apprently there since at leat Linux-2.6.12-rc2.
