net dst: fix percpu_counter list corruption and poison overwritten
There're some percpu_counter list corruption and poison overwritten warnings in recent kernel, which is resulted by fc66f95c. commit fc66f95c switches to use percpu_counter, in ip6_route_net_init, kernel init the percpu_counter for dst entries, but, the percpu_counter is never destroyed in ip6_route_net_exit. So if the related data is freed by kernel, the freed percpu_counter is still on the list, then if we insert/remove other percpu_counter, list corruption resulted. Also, if the insert/remove option modifies the ->prev,->next pointer of the freed value, the poison overwritten is resulted then. With the following patch, the percpu_counter list corruption and poison overwritten warnings disappeared. Signed-off-by: Xiaotian Feng <dfeng@redhat.com> Cc: "David S.
