[PATCH] udp: ipv4: do not use sk_dst_lock from softirq context

[Eric Dumazet]

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

Using sk_dst_lock from softirq context is not supported right now.

Instead of adding BH protection everywhere,
udp_sk_rx_dst_set() can instead use xchg(), as suggested
by David.
