Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/2] cxgb3: Fix warning about using rcu_dereference when not in a rcu-locked section

From: Jay Fenlason <fenlason@...hat.com>

It is about using rcu_dereference() when not in a rcu-locked section. It only
happens on initialization hence fix the initialization to not rcu_dereference()
