net: skb->dst accessors

Define three accessors to get/set dst attached to a skb

struct dst_entry *skb_dst(const struct sk_buff *skb)

void skb_dst_set(struct sk_buff *skb, struct dst_entry *dst)

void skb_dst_drop(struct sk_buff *skb)
This one should replace occurrences of :
dst_release(skb->dst)
skb->dst = NULL;

Delete skb->dst field
