[PATCH 6.12.y v2] ipv4: start using dst_dev_rcu()

From: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 6ad8de3cefdb6ffa6708b21c567df0dbf82c43a8 ]

Change icmpv4_xrlim_allow(), ip_defrag() to prevent possible UAF.

Change ipmr_prepare_xmit(), ipmr_queue_fwd_xmit(), ip_mr_output(),
ipv4_neigh_lookup() to use lockdep enabled dst_dev_rcu().

[ minor modifications to fix conflict , added rcu_read_lock and unlock
to ip_defrag function ]

Fixes: 4a6ce2b6f2ec ("net: introduce a new function dst_dev_put()")
