Subject: geneve: lock RCU on TX path
From: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit a717e3f740803cc88bd5c9a70c93504f6a368663 ]
There is no guarantees that callers of the TX path will hold
the RCU lock. Grab it explicitly.
Fixes: fceb9c3e3825 ("geneve: avoid using stale geneve socket.")
