Gergely Kalman reported crashes in check_peer_redir().

It appears commit f39925dbde778 (ipv4: Cache learned redirect
information in inetpeer.) added a race, leading to possible NULL ptr
dereference.

Since we can now change dst neighbour, we should make sure a reader can
safely use a neighbour.

Add RCU protection to dst neighbour, and make sure check_peer_redir()
can be called safely by different cpus in parallel.

As neighbours are already freed after one RCU grace period, this patch
should not add typical RCU penalty (cache cold effects)

Many thanks to Gergely for providing a pretty report pointing to the
bug.

[ Upstream commit d9be4f7a6f5a8da3133b832eca41c3591420b1ca ]

Because the ip fragment offset field counts 8-byte chunks, ip
fragments other than the last must contain a multiple of 8 bytes of
payload.  ip_ufo_append_data wasn't respecting this constraint and,
depending on the MTU and ip option sizes, could create malformed
non-final fragments.

We might call ip_ufo_append_data() for packets that will be IPsec
transformed later. This function should be used just for real
udp packets. So we check for rt-&gt;dst.header_len which is only
nonzero on IPsec handling and call ip_ufo_append_data() just
if rt-&gt;dst.header_len is zero.

ip_append_data() builds packets based on the mtu from dst_mtu(rt-&gt;dst.path).
On IPsec the effective mtu is lower because we need to add the protocol
headers and trailers later when we do the IPsec transformations. So after
the IPsec transformations the packet might be too big, which leads to a
slowpath fragmentation then. This patch fixes this by building the packets
based on the lower IPsec mtu from dst_mtu(&amp;rt-&gt;dst) and adapts the exthdr
handling to this.

Git commit 59104f06 (ip: take care of last fragment in ip_append_data)
added a check to see if we exceed the mtu when we add trailer_len.
However, the mtu is already subtracted by the trailer length when the
xfrm transfomation bundles are set up. So IPsec packets with mtu
size get fragmented, or if the DF bit is set the packets will not
be send even though they match the mtu perfectly fine. This patch
actually reverts commit 59104f06.

<title>ipv4: Fix packet size calculation for raw IPsec packets in __ip_append_data</title>

We assume that transhdrlen is positive on the first fragment
which is wrong for raw packets. So we don't add exthdrlen to the
packet size for raw packets. This leads to a reallocation on IPsec
because we have not enough headroom on the skb to place the IPsec
headers. This patch fixes this by adding exthdrlen to the packet
size whenever the send queue of the socket is empty. This issue was
introduced with git commit 1470ddf7 (inet: Remove explicit write
references to sk/inet in ip_append_data)
