David, IMHO this fix is needed in net-2.6 even if it doesn't fix the
problem reported by Pawel (there could be still something more).

Pawel, I see you decided to test my previous patch, but try to add
this one on top.

ipv4: Fix fib_trie rebalancing, part 3

Alas current delaying of freeing old tnodes by RCU in trie_rebalance
is still not enough because we can free a top tnode before updating a
t->trie pointer.
