Sashiko reports: > mctp_dst_from_route() increments the device reference count by calling > mctp_dev_hold(). When a valid route is found and dst is NULL, the > structure copy is bypassed and rc is set to 0. Instead of optimistically creating a dst from the final route (then releasing it if the saddr is invalid), perform the saddr check first. This means we don't have an unuecessary hold/release on the dev, which could leak if the dst pointer is NULL. No caller passes a NULL dst at present though (so the leak is not possible), but this is an intended use of mctp_dst_from_route().
