[PATCH 3/4] ipv4: drop unneeded and misleading RCU lock in ip_route_input_noref()

[Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>]

Enabling CONFIG_RCU_NOREF_DEBUG gives the following splat on the
first ingress IPv4 packet:

       1 noref entities escaped an RCU section, nesting 259, leaked noref list  ffff8edcefb1dc00

The rcu protection in ip_route_input_noref() is unneeded and
misleading: the caller still needs to acquire and retain the rcu
lock until the skb - carrying a noref dst on successful return -
is either dropped or the relevant dst is forced to a ref-counted
version.

This change just drops the unneeded lock.
