[PATCH 4.20 35/52] ipv6: route: enforce RCU protection in ip6_route_check_nh_onlink()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.20-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit bf1dc8bad1d42287164d216d8efb51c5cd381b18 ]

We need a RCU critical section around rt6_info->from deference, and
proper annotation.

Fixes: 4ed591c8ab44 ("net/ipv6: Allow onlink routes to have a device mismatch if it is the default route")
