The conditional check introduced by this patch may trigger a NULL pointer
dereference in case the result of dev_net() is NULL.
Since the purpose of this patch is neither sufficiently explained and since
this patch apparently has never been submitted upstream despite it being in
the pending-* patch directory, I propose to drop it without replacement.
If the performance implications of dropping this patch are found to be
significiant, it should be reintroduced with proper description and
benchmark results.
