The commit that changed this can't be reverted easily, but the patch
below works for me.

Fix NULL de-reference in rt6_fill_node() when there's no IPv6 input
device present in the dst entry.

In order to align the coding styles of ip_vs_zero_stats() and
its child-function ip_vs_zero_estimator(), clear ip_vs_stats
members explicitlty rather than doing a limited memset().

This was chosen over modifying ip_vs_zero_estimator() to use
memset() as it is more robust against changes in members
in the relevant structures. memset() would be prefered if
all members of the structure were to be cleared.

There's no reason for dynamically allocating an estimator object for every
stats object. Directly embed an estimator object into every stats object and
switch to using the kernel-provided list implementation. This makes the code
much simpler and faster, as we do not need to traverse the list of all
estimators to find the one belonging to a stats object. There's no need to use
an rwlock, as we only have one reader. Also reorder the members of the
estimator structure slightly to avoid padding overhead. This can't be done
with the stats object as the members are currently copied to our user space
object via memcpy() and changing it would break ABI.

There is a slight chance for a deadlock in the estimator code. We can't call
del_timer_sync() while holding our lock, as the timer might be active and
spinning for the lock on another cpu. Work around this issue by using
try_to_del_timer_sync() and releasing the lock. We could actually delete the
timer outside of our lock, as the add and kill functions are only every called
from userspace via [gs]etsockopt() and are serialized by a mutex, but better
make this explicit.

The socket lock is there to protect the normal UDP receive path.
Encapsulation UDP sockets don't need that protection.  In fact
the locking is deadly for them as they may contain another UDP
packet within, possibly with the same addresses.

Also the nested bit was copied from TCP.  TCP needs it because
of accept(2) spawning sockets.  This simply doesn't apply to UDP
so I've removed it.
