Subject: [PATCH v2] RDMA/core: Fix race when resolving IP address

Use neighbour lock when copying MAC address from neighbour data struct
in dst_fetch_ha.

When not using the lock, it is possible for the function to race with
neigh_update, causing it to copy an invalid MAC address.

It is possible to provoke this error by calling rdma_resolve_addr in a
tight loop, while deleting the corresponding ARP entry in another tight
loop.
