PATCH 1/1 raw: restore daddr_cache in raw kernel socket.

Hi all,

I created a patch of RAW socket.

This patch adds ip6_sk_dst_lookup()/ip6_dst_store() in rawv6_sendmsg(). so that RAW socket can use "daddr_cache".

When RAW socket sent the packets to same destination, it must reduce over-head.

Could you please check the following patch?

Regards,
Naohiro Ooiwa
