Subject: [ 70/85] ipv4: Dont report stale pmtu values to userspace

3.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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


From: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@...unet.com>

[ Upstream commit ee9a8f7ab2edf801b8b514c310455c94acc232f6 ]

We report cached pmtu values even if they are already expired.
Change this to not report these values after they are expired
and fix a race in the expire time calculation, as suggested by
Eric Dumazet.
