ip6_rt_cache_alloc calls ip6_dst_alloc with zero as flags; and only
one flag is copied later (DST_HOST) outside of ip6_rt_init_dst().
If the flag assignment is completely removed from ip6_rt_init_dst(),
then DST_NOPOLICY flag will be lost.
Which may be OK, but is more than what this patch tries to solve (do not
copy DST_NOCOUNT flag).
