Subject: [PATCH] NETLABEL: Fix an RCU warning

Fix an RCU warning in the netlabel code due to missing rcu read locking around
an rcu_dereference() in netlbl_unlhsh_hash() when called from
netlbl_unlhsh_netdev_handler():

===================================================
[ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
---------------------------------------------------
net/netlabel/netlabel_unlabeled.c:246 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!

other info that might help us debug this:


rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
2 locks held by ip/5108:
 #0:  (rtnl_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff812c4a36>] rtnl_lock+0x12/0x14
 #1:  (netlbl_unlhsh_lock){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff8134daa4>] netlbl_unlhsh_netdev_handler+0x1e/0x86
