mlxsw: spectrum_router: Do not assume RTNL is taken during RIF teardown

Browse source

IPv6 addresses are deleted in an atomic context, so the driver defers
the potential teardown of the associated router interface (RIF) to a
work item that takes RTNL.

The RIF is only destroyed if the associated netdev does not have any IP
addresses (both IPv4 and IPv6). The IPv4 device ('struct in_device') is
currently fetched via __in_dev_get_rtnl() which assumes RTNL is taken.

Since RTNL is going to be removed, convert it to use __in_dev_get_rcu()
from an RCU read-side critical section.

Note that the IPv6 device ('struct inet6_dev') is fetched via
__in6_dev_get(), which does not require RTNL.
