commit 92f1655aa2b2294d0b49925f3b875a634bd3b59e
upstream-diff This change breaks the kabi.  Use the RH_KABI_REPLACE
              macro to define the negative_advice function such that
              check-kabi will still pass.  From rh_kabi.h:

              "The RH_KABI_REPLACE* macros attempt to add the ability
               to use the '_new' element while preserving size
               alignment and kabi agreement with the '_orig' element."

__dst_negative_advice() does not enforce proper RCU rules when sk->dst_cache must be cleared, leading to possible UAF.

RCU rules are that we must first clear sk->sk_dst_cache, then call dst_release(old_dst).

Note that sk_dst_reset(sk) is implementing this protocol correctly, while __dst_negative_advice() uses the wrong order.

Given that ip6_negative_advice() has special logic against RTF_CACHE, this means each of the three ->negative_advice() existing methods must perform the sk_dst_reset() themselves.

Note the check against NULL dst is centralized in
__dst_negative_advice(), there is no need to duplicate it in various callbacks.

Many thanks to Clement Lecigne for tracking this issue.

This old bug became visible after the blamed commit, using UDP sockets.
