A recent patch removed the dst_free() on the allocated dst_entry in ipv4_blackhole_route(). The dst_free() marked the dst_entry as dead and added it to the gc list. I.e. it was setup for a one time usage. As a result we may now have a blackhole route cached at a socket on some IPsec scenarios. This makes the connection unusable.
Fix this by marking the dst_entry directly at allocation time as 'dead', so it is used only once.
