You can also cache returned entry and then just clone it and check
->obsolete() callback.

Something like this:
struct dst_entry *route_get(struct dst_entry *dst)
{
	if (dst && dst->obsolete && dst->ops->check(dst, 0) == NULL) {
		dst_release(dst);
		return NULL;
	}
	return dst_clone(dst);
}

Copied from route code too.
