net: prevent dst uses after free

In linux-4.13, Wei worked hard to convert dst to a traditional
refcounted model, removing GC.

We now want to make sure a dst refcount can not transition from 0 back
to 1.

The problem here is that input path attached a not refcounted dst to an
skb. Then later, because packet is forwarded and hits skb_dst_force()
before exiting RCU section, we might try to take a refcount on one dst
that is about to be freed, if another cpu saw 1 -> 0 transition in
dst_release() and queued the dst for freeing after one RCU grace period.

Lets unify skb_dst_force() and skb_dst_force_safe(), since we should
always perform the complete check against dst refcount, and not assume
it is not zero.
