Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 11/47] mac80211: Convert call_rcu() to kfree_rcu(), drop mesh_gate_node_reclaim()

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paul.mckenney@...aro.org>

The call_rcu() in mesh_gate_del() invokes mesh_gate_node_reclaim(),
which simply calls kfree().  So convert the call_rcu() to kfree_rcu(),
allowing mesh_gate_node_reclaim() to be eliminated.
