Subject: [net-next 5/6] ixgbe: Replace synchronize_sched() with synchronize_rcu()

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...ux.ibm.com>

Now that synchronize_rcu() waits for preempt-disable regions of code
as well as RCU read-side critical sections, synchronize_sched() can be
replaced by synchronize_rcu().  This commit therefore makes this change.
