neigh: fix rcu splat in neigh_update()
when use dst_get_neighbour to get neighbour, we need rcu_read_lock to protect, since dst_get_neighbour uses rcu_dereference. The bug was reported by Ari Savolainen <ari.m.savolainen@gmail.com> [ 105.612095] [ 105.612096] =================================================== [ 105.612100] [ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ] [ 105.612101] --------------------------------------------------- [ 105.612103] include/net/dst.h:91 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!
