In case of seg6 in encap mode, seg6_do_srh_encap() calls set_tun_src() in order to set the src addr of outer IPv6 header.
The net_device is required for set_tun_src(). However calling ip6_dst_idev() on dst_entry in case of IPv4 traffic results on the following bug. Using just dst->dev should fix this BUG.
