Subject: [PATCH] tipc: fix suspicious RCU usage

When run tipcTS&tipcTC test suite, the following complaint appears:

The warning appears as rtnl_dereference() is wrongly used in
tipc_l2_send_msg() under RCU read lock protection. Instead the proper
usage should be that rcu_dereference_rtnl() is called here.
