route: set the deleted fnhe fnhe_daddr to 0 in ip_del_fnhe to fix a race
The race occurs in __mkroute_output() when 2 threads lookup a dst: CPU A CPU B find_exception() find_exception() [fnhe expires] ip_del_fnhe() [fnhe is deleted] rt_bind_exception() In rt_bind_exception() it will bind a deleted fnhe with the new dst, and this dst will get no chance to be freed. It causes a dev defcnt leak and consecutive dmesg warnings: unregister_netdevice: waiting for ethX to become free. Usage count = 1 Especially thanks Jon to identify the issue. This patch fixes it by setting fnhe_daddr to 0 in ip_del_fnhe() to stop binding the deleted fnhe with a new dst when checking fnhe's fnhe_daddr and daddr in rt_bind_exception(). It works as both ip_del_fnhe() and rt_bind_exception() are protected by fnhe_lock and the fhne is freed by kfree_rcu().
