Subject: [PATCH] net: Fix sk_dst_check() to reset the obsolete dst_entry of a socket.

    The issue is caused by the CL d11a4dc18bf41719c9f0d7ed494d295dd2973b92
    which will never reset the dst_entry of a socket if its current entry
    is freed(obsolete) for ipv4. This will block the socket's traffic
    instead of looking up a new dst_entry.
