[PATCH] Fix dst_destroy() race

Browse source 
When we are not the real parent of the dst (e.g., when we're xfrm_dst and
the child is an rtentry), it may already be on the GC list.

In fact the current code is buggy to, we need to check dst->flags before
the dec as dst may no longer be valid afterwards.
