    ipv4: Restore old dst_free() behavior. · 54764bb6

    commit 404e0a8b (net: ipv4: fix RCU races on dst refcounts) tried
    to solve a race but added a problem at device/fib dismantle time :
    
    We really want to call dst_free() as soon as possible, even if sockets
    still have dst in their cache.
    dst_release() calls in free_fib_info_rcu() are not welcomed.
    
    Root of the problem was that now we also cache output routes (in
    nh_rth_output), we must use call_rcu() instead of call_rcu_bh() in
    rt_free(), because output route lookups are done in process context.
    
    Based on feedback and initial patch from David Miller (adding another
    call_rcu_bh() call in fib, but it appears it was not the right fix)
    
    I left the inet_sk_rx_dst_set() helper and added __rcu attributes
    to nh_rth_output and nh_rth_input to better document what is going on in
    this code.
