6.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

[ Upstream commit 8776c4ef3ab22b95f55713f00a7a576e6402507d ]

With CONFIG_MITIGATION_RETPOLINE=y dst_mtu() is a bit fat,
because it is generic.

Indeed, clang does not always inline it.

Add dst4_mtu() and dst6_mtu() helpers for callers that
expect either ipv4_mtu() or ip6_mtu() to be called.

These helpers are always inlined.
