You can change the code flow now to pre-b924933cbbfbdcaa2831a39 state:

                if (!skb_flow_dissector_uses_key(flow_dissector,
                                                 FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_IPV6_ADDRS))
                        break;
                ....
                flow_label = .....

killing flow_label label.

Other than that,
