If the dst is shared, it may cause some problem. Could you point me where the
dst may be shared possibly?

If yes, how about just set the skb dst to rt->dst, as the
iptunnel_xmit would do later.

skb_dst_drop(skb);
skb_dst_set(skb, &rt->dst);

or do you have any other idea?

I'm afraid we couldn't do this, I didn't find a way to init dev in
__metadata_dst_init(). Do you?
