Subject: [PATCH 5.15 079/244] plip: avoid rcu debug splat

From: Florian Westphal <fw@...len.de>

commit bc3c8fe3c79bcdae4d90e3726054fac5cca8ac32 upstream.

WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
5.2.0-rc2-00605-g2638eb8b50cfc #1 Not tainted
drivers/net/plip/plip.c:1110 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

plip_open is called with RTNL held, switch to the correct helper.

Fixes: 2638eb8b50cf ("net: ipv4: provide __rcu annotation for ifa_list")
