Another sashiko drive-by report. TL;DR, do you need to apply this
pattern in your driver?

-       metadata_dst_free(priv->md);
+       dst_release(&priv->md->dst);

Affects:
drivers/net/ethernet/airoha/airoha_eth.c
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_eswitch.c
drivers/net/ethernet/mediatek/mtk_eth_soc.c
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_accel/macsec.c

This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but looking at this fix, do
other callers of metadata_dst_free() suffer from the same use-after-free
vulnerability?
In drivers like ice_eswitch and mlx5 MACsec, a metadata_dst is allocated
and references are taken on it via dst_hold() when packets are processed
(for example, via skb_dst_set()).
However, on their teardown paths, these drivers call metadata_dst_free(),
which unconditionally frees the memory without checking the reference count.
If packets holding these references are queued (like in a netem qdisc)
during teardown, does the memory get freed prematurely, causing a
use-after-free when the networking stack eventually calls dst_release()
on the dequeued packets?
