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

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


commit 07a5d38453599052aff0877b16bb9c1585f08609 upstream.

dst_release should not access dst->flags after decrementing
__refcnt to 0. The dst_entry may be in dst_busy_list and
dst_gc_task may dst_destroy it before dst_release gets a chance
to access dst->flags.

Fixes: d69bbf88c8d0 ("net: fix a race in dst_release()")
Fixes: 27b75c95f10d ("net: avoid RCU for NOCACHE dst")
