It turned out that updating the cached dst_entry in ipv4_sk_update_pmtu()
is not trivial. We need to implement proper socket locking and we need
socket release calback functions for all protocols that use
ipv4_sk_update_pmtu(), similar to tcp.

Today is my last office day for this year, so we probably have to defer
a solution to the next year.

Thanks.
