[PATCH 6.12.y 0/2] net: dst: Backport fix CVE-2025-40075

This patch series backports two commits from mainline to fix CVE-2025-40075,
a data race vulnerability in dst->dev access.

The first patch introduces dst->dev_rcu and dst_dev_net_rcu() helper to
provide proper RCU protection with lockdep support. The second patch uses
the new helper in tcp_metrics to eliminate unsafe dst_dev() calls.

These are clean cherry-picks from mainline commits:
- caedcc5b6df1 ("net: dst: introduce dst->dev_rcu")
- 50c127a69cd6 ("tcp_metrics: use dst_dev_net_rcu()")

Eric Dumazet (2):
  net: dst: introduce dst->dev_rcu
  tcp_metrics: use dst_dev_net_rcu()
