net: introduce rcu_dereference_rtnl
We use rcu_dereference_check(p, rcu_read_lock_held() || lockdep_rtnl_is_held()) several times in network stack. More usages to come too, so its time to create a helper. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
