Subject: [PATCH net] route: add rcu_read_lock when lookup route and update fnhe in __ip_do_redirect

The only free exceptions is free_nh_exceptions():
  free_fib_info_rcu()->free_nh_exceptions()
It is in call_rcu():
 free_fib_info():
      call_rcu(&fi->rcu, free_fib_info_rcu);
There is no issue, because it's protected by fib_info rcu.

In ip_route_input(output)_slow:
 rcu_read_lock()
 fib_lookup() [check fib_info dead]
 __mkroute_input(ouput) -> find_exception()
 rcu_read_unlock()
Also safe.

The same thing is done in __ip_rt_update_pmtu():
     rcu_read_lock();
     if (fib_lookup(dev_net(dst->dev), fl4, &res, 0) == 0) {
         struct fib_nh *nh = &FIB_RES_NH(res);

         update_or_create_fnhe(nh, fl4->daddr, 0, mtu,
                       jiffies + ip_rt_mtu_expires);
     }
     rcu_read_unlock();

But there may be an issue in __ip_do_redirect():
         } else {
             if (fib_lookup(net, fl4, &res, 0) == 0) {
                 struct fib_nh *nh = &FIB_RES_NH(res);

                 update_or_create_fnhe(nh, fl4->daddr, new_gw,
                               0, 0);
             }

Which is not running in rcu_read_lock(), it may update a fnhe that
has been freed.

So fix it by adding rcu_read_lock() just like other parts.
