Ido Schimmel 23d154c0d0 mlxsw: spectrum_router: Do not assume RTNL is taken during RIF teardown
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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
