Subject: [PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 44/57] ip6_gre: release cached dst on tunnel removal

3.13.11-ckt27 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: huaibin Wang <huaibin.wang@...nd.com>

commit d4257295ba1b389c693b79de857a96e4b7cd8ac0 upstream.

When a tunnel is deleted, the cached dst entry should be released.

This problem may prevent the removal of a netns (seen with a x-netns IPv6
gre tunnel):
  unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 3
