Hmm, sk_dst_get() assumes dst are always freed after RCU grace period,
but it seems not the case with IPv6.

We should atomically set dst->__refcnt to -1 before RCU grace period and
final destruction, then sk_dst_get should do something like :

rcu_read_lock();
dst = rcu_dereference(sk->sk_dst_cache); 
if (dst && !atomic_add_unless(&dst->__refcnt, 1, -1))
	dst = NULL;
rcu_read_unlock();

Ie we should not increment dst->__refcnt if the dst is in dismantle
phase.
