Subject: [PATCH 4.9 072/212] ipv4: Silence suspicious RCU usage warning

From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@...lanox.com>

[ Upstream commit 83f3522860f702748143e022f1a546547314c715 ]

fib_trie_unmerge() is called with RTNL held, but not from an RCU
read-side critical section. This leads to the following warning [1] when
the FIB alias list in a leaf is traversed with
hlist_for_each_entry_rcu().

Since the function is always called with RTNL held and since
modification of the list is protected by RTNL, simply use
hlist_for_each_entry() and silence the warning.

[1]
