This patch checks all the calls to
dst_hold()/skb_dst_force()/dst_clone()/dst_use() to see if
dst_hold_safe() is needed to avoid double free issue if dst
gc is removed and dst_release() directly destroys dst when
dst->__refcnt drops to 0.
In tx path, TCP hold sk->sk_rx_dst ref count and also hold sock_lock().
UDP and other similar protocols always hold refcount for
skb->_skb_refdst. So both paths seem to be safe.
In rx path, as it is lockless and skb_dst_set_noref() is likely to be
used, dst_hold_safe() should always be used when trying to hold dst.
In the routing code, if dst is held during an rcu protected session, it
is necessary to call dst_hold_safe() as the current dst might be in its
rcu grace period.
