Subject: [PATCH 3.18 10/19] net: fix suspicious rcu_dereference_check in net/sched/sch_fq_codel.c

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Valdis.Kletnieks@...edu" <Valdis.Kletnieks@...edu>

[ Upstream commit 69204cf7eb9c5a72067ce6922d4699378251d053 ]

commit 46e5da40ae (net: qdisc: use rcu prefix and silence
 sparse warnings) triggers a spurious warning:

net/sched/sch_fq_codel.c:97 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

The code should be using the _bh variant of rcu_dereference.
