[PATCH 3.16 146/294] ipv6: add rcu grace period before freeing fib6_node

[Ben Hutchings]

3.16.50-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Wei Wang <weiwan@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit c5cff8561d2d0006e972bd114afd51f082fee77c upstream.

We currently keep rt->rt6i_node pointing to the fib6_node for the route.
And some functions make use of this pointer to dereference the fib6_node
from rt structure, e.g. rt6_check(). However, as there is neither
refcount nor rcu taken when dereferencing rt->rt6i_node, it could
potentially cause crashes as rt->rt6i_node could be set to NULL by other
CPUs when doing a route deletion.
This patch introduces an rcu grace period before freeing fib6_node and
makes sure the functions that dereference it takes rcu_read_lock().

Note: there is no "Fixes" tag because this bug was there in a very
early stage.
