[PATCH net-next-2.6] net: ip_rt_send_redirect() optimization

[Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>]

While doing some forwarding benchmarks, I noticed ip_rt_send_redirect() is rather
expensive, even if send_redirects is false for the device.

Fix is to avoid two atomic ops, we dont really need to take a reference on in_dev
