3.2.74-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Eric Dumazet <eduma...@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")
