ipv4: fix dst race in sk_dst_get()
[ Upstream commit f88649721268999bdff09777847080a52004f691 ] When IP route cache had been removed in linux-3.6, we broke assumption that dst entries were all freed after rcu grace period. DST_NOCACHE dst were supposed to be freed from dst_release(). But it appears we want to keep such dst around, either in UDP sockets or tunnels. In sk_dst_get() we need to make sure dst refcount is not 0 before incrementing it, or else we might end up freeing a dst twice. DST_NOCACHE set on a dst does not mean this dst can not be attached to a socket or a tunnel. Then, before actual freeing, we need to observe a rcu grace period to make sure all other cpus can catch the fact the dst is no longer usable.
