Subject[PATCH 3.2 40/52] net: fix a race in dst_release()
3.2.74-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

commit d69bbf88c8d0b367cf3e3a052f6daadf630ee566 upstream.

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")
