Xin Long 2ebe8f840c tipc: force a dst refcount before doing decryption
As it says in commit 3bc07321cc ("xfrm: Force a dst refcount before
entering the xfrm type handlers"):

"Crypto requests might return asynchronous. In this case we leave the
 rcu protected region, so force a refcount on the skb's destination
 entry before we enter the xfrm type input/output handlers."

On TIPC decryption path it has the same problem, and skb_dst_force()
should be called before doing decryption to avoid a possible crash.

Shuang reported this issue when this warning is triggered:

  [] WARNING: include/net/dst.h:337 tipc_sk_rcv+0x1055/0x1ea0 [tipc]

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
