2.6.28-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org>

[ Upstream commit 3f53a38131a4e7a053c0aa060aba0411242fb6b9 ]

We already have a valid net in that place, but this is not just a
cleanup - the tw pointer can be NULL there sometimes, thus causing
an oops in NET_NS=y case.

The same place in ipv4 code already works correctly using existing
net, rather than tw's one.

The bug exists since 2.6.27.
