This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.
===============
[ Upstream commit d69bbf88c8d0b367cf3e3a052f6daadf630ee566 ]
Only cpu seeing dst refcount going to 0 can safely
dereference dst->flags.
Otherwise an other cpu might already have freed the dst.
Fixes: 27b75c95f10d ("net: avoid RCU for NOCACHE dst")
