__ip6_make_skb() initialises skb's dst by taking an additional reference
to cork->dst. However, cork->dst comes into the function holding a ref,
which will be put shortly at the end of the function in
ip6_cork_release().

Avoid this extra pair of get/put atomics by stealing cork->dst and
NULL'ing the field, ip6_cork_release() already handles zero values.
