Following race condition was detected:
<CPU A, t0> - neigh_flush_dev() is under execution and calls
neigh_mark_dead(n) marking the neighbour entry 'n' as dead.
<CPU B, t1> - Executing: __netif_receive_skb() ->
__netif_receive_skb_core() -> arp_rcv() -> arp_process().arp_process()
calls __neigh_lookup() which takes a reference on neighbour entry 'n'.
<CPU A, t2> - Moves further along neigh_flush_dev() and calls
neigh_cleanup_and_release(n), but since reference count increased in t2,
'n' couldn't be destroyed.
<CPU B, t3> - Moves further along, arp_process() and calls
neigh_update()-> __neigh_update() -> neigh_update_gc_list(), which adds
the neighbour entry back in gc_list(neigh_mark_dead(), removed it
earlier in t0 from gc_list)
<CPU B, t4> - arp_process() finally calls neigh_release(n), destroying
the neighbour entry.
This leads to 'n' still being part of gc_list, but the actual
neighbour structure has been freed.
The situation can be prevented from happening if we disallow a dead
entry to have any possibility of updating gc_list. This is what the
patch intends to achieve.
