Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/1] driver: macvlan: Remove the rcu member of macvlan_port

From: Gao Feng <fgao@...ai8.com>

When free macvlan_port in macvlan_port_destroy, it is safe to free
directly because netdev_rx_handler_unregister could enforce one
grace period.
So it is unnecessary to use kfree_rcu for macvlan_port.
