#1604851 — [PATCH 4.9 12/93] geneve: lock RCU on TX path

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@netronome.com>


[ 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.")
