Commit 394de110a733 ("net: Added pointer check for dst->ops->neigh_lookup in dst_neigh_lookup_skb") added a test in dst_neigh_lookup_skb() to avoid a NULL pointer dereference. The root cause was the MPLS forwarding code, which doesn't call skb_dst_drop() on incoming packets. That is, if the packet is received from a collect_md device, it has a metadata_dst attached to it that doesn't implement any dst_ops function. To align the MPLS behaviour with IPv4 and IPv6, let's drop the dst in mpls_forward(). This way, dst_neigh_lookup_skb() doesn't need to test ->neigh_lookup any more. Let's keep a WARN condition though, to document the precondition and to ease detection of such problems in the future.
