To fix this issue, split 'from' and 'expires' field in dst_entry out of union. Once it is 'from' is assigned in the constructor, keep the reference until the very last stage of the life time of the object. Of course, it is unsafe to change 'from', so make rt6_set_from simple just for fresh entries.
