net: ipv4: fix RCU races on dst refcounts
commit c6cffba4ffa2 (ipv4: Fix input route performance regression.)
added various fatal races with dst refcounts.
crashes happen on tcp workloads if routes are added/deleted at the same
time.
The dst_free() calls from free_fib_info_rcu() are clearly racy.
We need instead regular dst refcounting (dst_release()) and make
sure dst_release() is aware of RCU grace periods :
Add DST_RCU_FREE flag so that dst_release() respects an RCU grace period
before dst destruction for cached dst
Introduce a new inet_sk_rx_dst_set() helper, using atomic_inc_not_zero()
to make sure we dont increase a zero refcount (On a dst currently
waiting an rcu grace period before destruction)
rt_cache_route() must take a reference on the new cached route, and
release it if was not able to install it.
With this patch, my machines survive various benchmarks.
