[PATCH net 1/2] net: airoha: Fix use-after-free in metadata dst teardown

[Lorenzo Bianconi]

airoha_metadata_dst_free() runs metadata_dst_free() which frees the
metadata_dst with kfree() immediately, bypassing the RCU grace period.
In the RX path, skb_dst_set_noref() sets a non-refcounted pointer from
the skb to the metadata_dst. This function requires RCU read-side
protection and the dst must remain valid until all RCU readers complete.
Since metadata_dst_free() calls kfree() directly, an use-after-free can
occur if any skb still holds a noref pointer to the dst when the driver
tears it down.
Replace metadata_dst_free() with dst_release() which properly goes
through the refcount path: when the refcount drops to zero, it schedules
the actual free via call_rcu_hurry(), ensuring all RCU readers have
completed before the memory is freed.
