: Mischecked tw match in __inet6_check_established.

When looking for a conflicting connection the !sk->sk_bound_dev_if check is performed only for live sockets, but not for timewait-ed.

This is not the case for ipv4, for __inet6_lookup_established in both ipv4 and ipv6 and for other places that check for tw-s.

Was this missed accidentally? If so, then this patch fixes it and besides makes use if the dif variable declared in the function.

Fits both, net-2.6 and net-2.6.25.

This fix definitely looks correct.

I just sent Linus a pull request for other 2.6.24 fixes, so I'll toss this into my net-2.6 tree tomorrow after he pulls that stuff in.

Thanks!
