Subject: [PATCH net-next 09/17] net: ovs: use kfree_rcu instead of rcu_free_{sw_flow_mask_cb,acts_callback}

From: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@...hat.com>

As we're only doing a kfree() anyway in the RCU callback, we can
simply use kfree_rcu, which does the same job, and remove the
function rcu_free_sw_flow_mask_cb() and rcu_free_acts_callback().
