Currently, the ip_vs_dest cache frees ip_vs_dest objects when their reference count becomes < 0. Aside from not being semantically sound, this is problematic for the new type refcount_t, which will be introduced shortly in a separate patch. refcount_t is the new kernel type for holding reference counts, and provides overflow protection and a constrained interface relative to atomic_t (the type currently being used for kernel reference counts). Per Julian Anastasov: "The problem is that dest_trash currently holds deleted dests (unlinked from RCU lists) with refcnt=0." Changing dest_trash to hold dest with refcnt=1 will allow us to free ip_vs_dest structs when their refcnt=0, in ip_vs_dest_put_and_free().
