    net: add a noref bit on skb dst · 7fee226a

    Use low order bit of skb->_skb_dst to tell dst is not refcounted.
    
    Change _skb_dst to _skb_refdst to make sure all uses are catched.
    
    skb_dst() returns the dst, regardless of noref bit set or not, but
    with a lockdep check to make sure a noref dst is not given if current
    user is not rcu protected.
    
    New skb_dst_set_noref() helper to set an notrefcounted dst on a skb.
    (with lockdep check)
    
    skb_dst_drop() drops a reference only if skb dst was refcounted.
    
    skb_dst_force() helper is used to force a refcount on dst, when skb
    is queued and not anymore RCU protected.
    
    Use skb_dst_force() in __sk_add_backlog(), __dev_xmit_skb() if
    !IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE or skb enqueued on qdisc queue, in
    sock_queue_rcv_skb(), in __nf_queue().
    
    Use skb_dst_force() in dev_requeue_skb().
    
    Note: dst_use_noref() still dirties dst, we might transform it
    later to do one dirtying per jiffies.
