Subject: tcp: fastopen: tcp_connect() must refresh the route

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>


[ Upstream commit 8ba60924710cde564a3905588b6219741d6356d0 ]

With new TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT socket option, there is a possibility
to call tcp_connect() while socket sk_dst_cache is either NULL
or invalid.

 +0 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 4
 +0 fcntl(4, F_SETFL, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 0
 +0 setsockopt(4, SOL_TCP, TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT, [1], 4) = 0
 +0 connect(4, ..., ...) = 0

<< sk->sk_dst_cache becomes obsolete, or even set to NULL >>

 +1 sendto(4, ..., 1000, MSG_FASTOPEN, ..., ...) = 1000

We need to refresh the route otherwise bad things can happen,
especially when syzkaller is running on the host :/
