Subject: [PATCH net-next] inetpeer: fix RCU lookup()

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

Excess of seafood or something happened while I cooked the commit
adding RB tree to inetpeer.

Of course, RCU rules need to be respected or bad things can happen.

In this particular loop, we need to read *pp once per iteration, not
twice.

Fixes: b145425f269a ("inetpeer: remove AVL implementation in favor of RB tree")
