From:   David Miller <davem@...emloft.net>
To:     netdev@...r.kernel.org
Subject: [RFC PATCH 04/12] net: Make generic dst->child usage more explicit.

Only IPSEC (xfrm) routes have a dst->child which is non-NULL.
xfrm routes are identified by dst->xfrm being non-NULL.

Codify this explicitly in dst_destroy().
