net/sched: cls_route: fix fastmap use-after-free on filter

The route4 classifier maintains a 16-slot fastmap cache that stores raw
struct route4_filter pointers indexed by (id, iif). The reader
(route4_classify) populates this cache via route4_set_fastmap() for every
classified packet that hits a filter. The writer (route4_delete,
route4_change) clears the cache via route4_reset_fastmap() before
RCU-deferred kfree of the filter.

This creates a UAF race:

1. Reader walks the RCU-protected bucket chain, finds filter f
2. Writer unlinks f, calls route4_reset_fastmap(), then tcf_queue_work()
3. Reader calls route4_set_fastmap() and writes f into the cache
   after the writer's reset, caching a pointer about to be freed
4. After the RCU grace period, kfree(f) executes
5. Next classified packet on the same (id, iif) tuple hits the stale
   fastmap entry and reads f->res from freed memory

Reproduced with an mdelay(100) accelerator in route4_set_fastmap() and a
concurrent add/delete stress test (provided by both zdi and Santosh).
Both triggered KASAN slab-use-after-free reports in the route4 fastmap
paths.

Fix:
Introduce a per-filter boolean dying flag to suppress stale fastmap
republishing by in-flight readers.
