Syzkaller got the following report:
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in sk_setup_caps+0x621/0x690 net/core/sock.c:2018
Read of size 8 at addr ffff888027f82780 by task syz-executor276/3255

The function sk_setup_caps (called by ip6_sk_dst_store_flow->
ip6_dst_store) referenced already freed memory as this memory was
freed by parallel task in udpv6_sendmsg->ip6_sk_dst_lookup_flow->
sk_dst_check.

          task1 (connect)              task2 (udp6_sendmsg)
        sk_setup_caps->sk_dst_set |
                                  |  sk_dst_check->
                                  |      sk_dst_set
                                  |      dst_release
        sk_setup_caps references  |
        to already freed dst_entry|

The reason for this race condition is: udp6_sendmsg() calls
ip6_sk_dst_lookup() without lock for sock structure and tries to
allocate/add dst_entry structure to sock structure in parallel with
"connect" task.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with syzkaller.
