Since I'm not sure Robert is working on this, here is a patch which
I guess should fix this issue more optimally. Alas, until it's tested
by somebody, I can recommend it only for net-next.

ipv4: Fix fib_trie rebalancing
While doing trie_rebalance(): resize(), inflate(), halve() RCU free
tnodes before updating their parents. It depends on RCU delaying the
real destruction, but if RCU readers start after call_rcu() and before
parent update they could access freed memory.
It is currently prevented with preempt_disable() on the update side,
but it's not safe, except maybe classic RCU, plus it conflicts with
memory allocations with GFP_KERNEL flag used from these functions.
This patch explicitly delays freeing of tnodes by adding them to the
list, which is flushed after the update is finished.
