Subject: [PATCH] net: fib: fix incorrect call_rcu_bh()

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

After IP route cache removal, I believe rcu_bh() has very little use and
we should remove this RCU variant, since it adds some cycles in fast
path.

Anyway, the call_rcu_bh() use in fib_true is obviously wrong, since
some users only assert rcu_read_lock().
