Subject: [PATCH v4] RDMA/core: Fix race when resolving IP address

Use the neighbour lock when copying the MAC address from the 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 torn MAC address:

rdma_resolve_addr()
  rdma_resolve_ip()
    addr_resolve()
      addr_resolve_neigh()
        fetch_ha()
          dst_fetch_ha()
	     memcpy(dev_addr->dst_dev_addr, n->ha, MAX_ADDR_LEN)

and

net_ioctl()
  arp_ioctl()
    arp_rec_delete()
      arp_invalidate()
        neigh_update()
          __neigh_update()
	    memcpy(&neigh->ha, lladdr, dev->addr_len)

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.
