[PATCH] ip_tunnel: fix panic in ip_tunnel_xmit()

Eric Dumazet <[email protected]>
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.trinity,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel,org.kernel.vger.netdev
Message-ID <1391460734.28432.111.camel@edumazet-glaptop2.roam.corp.google.com>
From: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]>

Setting rt variable to NULL at the beginning of ip_tunnel_xmit()
missed possible use of this variable as a scratch value.

Also fixes a possible dst leak in tunnel_dst_check() :
If we had to call tunnel_dst_reset(), we forgot to
release the reference on dst.

Merges tunnel_dst_get()/tunnel_dst_check() into
a single tunnel_rtable_get() function for clarity.

Many thanks to Tommi for his report and tests.

Fixes: 7d442fab0a67 ("ipv4: Cache dst in tunnels)"
