Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] net: Use call_rcu_flush() for dst_destroy_rcu

In a networking test on ChromeOS, we find that using the new
CONFIG_RCU_LAZY causes a networking test to fail in the teardown phase.

The failure happens during: ip netns del <name>

Using ftrace, I found the callbacks it was queuing which this series fixes.
Use call_rcu_flush() to revert to the old behavior. With that, the test
passes.
