It seems that your above change is useless to kill the error. For instance, when
I apply it into my project, below build error appears:

net/tipc/udp_media.c: In function ‘tipc_udp_send_msg’:
net/tipc/udp_media.c:196:18: error: ‘const struct ipv6_stub’ has no member named
‘ip6_dst_lookup’
make[2]: *** [net/tipc/udp_media.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [net/tipc] Error 2
make: *** [net] Error 2

In my opinion, we have to follow David's suggestion dividing the udp_media.c as
an separate module.
