Subject: [PATCH 4.4 018/342] ipv6: fix a lockdep splat

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit 44c3d0c1c0a880354e9de5d94175742e2c7c9683 ]

Silence lockdep false positive about rcu_dereference() being
used in the wrong context.

First one should use rcu_dereference_protected() as we own the spinlock.

Second one should be a normal assignation, as no barrier is needed.

Fixes: 18367681a10bd ("ipv6 flowlabel: Convert np->ipv6_fl_list to RCU.")
