3.5.7.24 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jiri Benc <jbenc at redhat.com>

commit 0a7e22609067ff524fc7bbd45c6951dd08561667 upstream.

When sending out multicast messages, the source address in inet->mc_addr is
ignored and rewritten by an autoselected one. This is caused by a typo in
commit 813b3b5db831 ("ipv4: Use caller's on-stack flowi as-is in output
route lookups").
