The problem is that you might still return a wrong status in the final :

return entries > rt_max_size;

If we are in ip6_dst_gc(), we know for sure entries might be wrong,
if it holds dst_entries_get_fast(ops)

If you prefer, the patch is really (since the caller calls us only if
dst_entries_get_fast(ops) was suspect)
