netpoll: remove netpoll_srcu
Eric Dumazet authored

netpoll_srcu is currently used from netpoll_poll_disable() and
__netpoll_cleanup()

Both functions run under RTNL, using netpoll_srcu adds confusion
and no additional protection.

Moreover the synchronize_srcu() call in __netpoll_cleanup() is
performed before clearing np->dev->npinfo, which violates RCU rules.

After this patch, netpoll_poll_disable() and netpoll_poll_enable()
simply use rtnl_dereference().

This saves a big chunk of memory (more than 192KB on platforms
with 512 cpus)

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 reStructuredText 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.
