net: Add skb_dstref_steal and skb_dstref_restore
Going forward skb_dst_set will assert that skb dst_entry is empty during skb_dst_set to prevent potential leaks. There are few places that still manually manage dst_entry not using the helpers. Convert them to the following new helpers: - skb_dstref_steal that resets dst_entry and returns previous dst_entry value - skb_dstref_restore that restores dst_entry previously reset via skb_dstref_steal Signed-off-by: Stanislav Fomichev <sdf@fomichev.me> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250818154032.3173645-2-sdf@fomichev.me Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
