Subject: [PATCH 3.10 29/58] ipv4: fix race in concurrent ip_route_input_slow()

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

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

From: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@...mgrid.com>

[ Upstream commit dcdfdf56b4a6c9437fc37dbc9cee94a788f9b0c4 ]

CPUs can ask for local route via ip_route_input_noref() concurrently.
if nh_rth_input is not cached yet, CPUs will proceed to allocate
equivalent DSTs on 'lo' and then will try to cache them in nh_rth_input
via rt_cache_route()
Most of the time they succeed, but on occasion the following two lines:
	orig = *p;
	prev = cmpxchg(p, orig, rt);
in rt_cache_route() do race and one of the cpus fails to complete cmpxchg.
But ip_route_input_slow() doesn't check the return code of rt_cache_route(),
so dst is leaking. dst_destroy() is never called and 'lo' device
refcnt doesn't go to zero, which can be seen in the logs as:
	unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 1
Adding mdelay() between above two lines makes it easily reproducible.
Fix it similar to nh_pcpu_rth_output case.

Fixes: d2d68ba9fe8b ("ipv4: Cache input routes in fib_info nexthops.")
