RDMA/core: Protect against changing dst->dev during destination resolve
During resolving address process, during route lookup and while performing src address translation in case of loopback mode, hold the rcu lock so that if netdevice is moving to different net namespace, or being unregistered, it can be synchronized with net/core/dev.c, ie change_net_namespace() ->dev_close_many() ->rt6_uncached_list_flush_dev() who would change dst->dev to loopback device of the given net namespace. Therefore, hold the rcu lock and sync with synchronize_net() of change_net_namespace() to ensure that netdevice cannot get freed while dst->dev is being used.
