[PATCH net] net/mlx5e: macsec: fix use-after-free of metadata_dst on RX SC delete

[Doruk Tan Ozturk <doruk@0sec.ai>]

macsec_del_rxsc_ctx() frees the RX SC metadata_dst via
metadata_dst_free(), which directly kfree()s the object and ignores the
dst_entry refcount. The MACsec RX offload datapath
mlx5e_macsec_offload_handle_rx_skb() takes a reference on this dst with
dst_hold() and attaches it to the skb via skb_dst_set(). If such an skb
is still in flight when the RX SC is deleted, the metadata_dst is freed
while the skb still references it; the subsequent dst_release() on skb
free then operates on already-freed memory.

Replace metadata_dst_free() with dst_release() so the metadata_dst is
freed only after the last reference is dropped. The dst subsystem frees
metadata_dst objects from dst_destroy() once the refcount reaches zero
(DST_METADATA is set by metadata_dst_alloc()).

Same class of bug and fix as commit c32b26aaa2f9 ("netfilter:
nft_tunnel: fix use-after-free on object destroy").
