After making rcu protection for tunnels (ipip, gre, sit and ip6) a bug
was introduced into the SIOCCHGTUNNEL code.

The tunnel is first unlinked, then addresses change, then it is linked
back probably into another bucket. But while changing the parms, the
hash table is unlocked to readers and they can lookup the improper tunnel.

Respective commits are b7285b79 (ipip: get rid of ipip_lock), 1507850b
(gre: get rid of ipgre_lock), 3a43be3c (sit: get rid of ipip6_lock) and
94767632 (ip6tnl: get rid of ip6_tnl_lock).

The quick fix is to wait for quiescent state to pass after unlinking,
but if it is inappropriate I can invent something better, just let me
know.

Good catch, I missed a change was possible at all :(

I guess some setups could scream with this fix, since this adds a
synchronize_net() call while holding RTNL ...

Hmm, maybe we should allocate a "struct ip_tunnel_parm" instead of using
an embedded one (in struct ip_tunnel), and stick an rcu_head in it to
delay its freeing...

I forgot to Ack your patch, of course.

We can implement something better when net-next-2.6 re-opens.
