Use neighbour lock when copying MAC address from neighbour data struct
in dst_fetch_ha.

When not using the lock, it is possible for the function to race with
neigh_update, causing it to copy an invalid MAC address.

It is possible to provoke this error by calling rdma_resolve_addr in a
tight loop, while deleting the corresponding ARP entry in another tight
loop.

A sample trace such as below in commit message would be good to have.
Or the similar one that you noticed with ARP delete sequence.

neigh_changeaddr()
   neigh_flush_dev()
    n->nud_state = NUD_NOARP;

Having some issues with office outlook, so replying via gmail.

Hi Parav,

Thanks for your review. I'll add a sample trace to the commit message as

you suggest.
