ip6tnl: avoid touching dst refcount in ip6_tnl_xmit2()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Even using percpu stats, we still hit tunnel dst_entry refcount in
ip6_tnl_xmit2()

Since we are in RCU locked section, we can use skb_dst_set_noref() and
avoid these atomic operations, leaving dst shared on cpus.
