The caller of icmp_route_lookup() uses the opposite prioritization of
devices for determining the network namespace to use:

if (rt->dst.dev)
net = dev_net(rt->dst.dev);
else if (skb_in->dev)
net = dev_net(skb_in->dev);
else
goto out;

Do we have to reverse the ordering there too?

And when I read fallback in your commit message description, I
imagined that you would have a two tiered lookup scheme. First you
would be trying the skb_in->dev for a lookup (to accomodate the VRF
case), and if that failed you'd try again with skb_dst()->dev.
