Subject: [PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 10/41] ipv4: Convert call_rcu() to kfree_rcu()

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

The call_rcu() in do_ip_setsockopt() invokes opt_kfree_rcu(), which just
calls kfree().  So convert the call_rcu() to kfree_rcu(), which allows
opt_kfree_rcu() to be eliminated.
